Application error since Vray1.50.00

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

An error has occurred and the apllication will close.
attempt to save? (never works)

Get this message trying to open a scene (made in Vray adv 1.5 RC3)
open in Vray adv. 1.50.00 (Viz2008)

It’s terrible, cant open any “old” file
can still open the file in 1.5RC3 on slow pc

Is this a common error, is there a cure???

please help

It has been reported and I’m looking into it; does it work if you merge the scene into a new file?

autoCAD dwg-link problems

You mean?

I use CAD file linking

When I would merge my “old” file into a new file, the link with my CAD-modeling file is gone, and then its impossible to modify the scene.

Unless thats no longer true

merging IS still posible, no errors there, just de linking-problem

I see; well I’m downloading VIZ2008 now and I’ll let you know what happens as soon as I find something out.

Damn

I installed Vray 1.50.00 on my laptop
And the laptop succesfull opened the file (though it took some time)

The PC with the problem is a QuadCore
I just read an other problem I am having too, loosing my lisence, though I have a dongle. “ctrl alt delete” fixes that problem for a moment.
That problem only occurs on the Quadcore too.

As far as license problems are concerned, would it be possible to contact me directly to vlado@chaosgroup.com so that we can figure out what is going on?

I was getting the same error when I hit the render button on a certain scene. Everytime and immediately upon clicking render. My other scenes worked fine with 1.5, but this one kept crashing. Turned out to be one of the car models that I use all the time. Deleted the car--no more crashes.

I know it’s not the same problem you’re having, but maybe there is something inside the scene that 1.5 does not like and won’t even open.

I have had similar problems since upgrading. When loading the old scene, max crashes out . The strange thing is that when I load max again and load the scene, it doesnt crash. So the problem is intermittant. Merging the file also works without problem.

I´m loving the tabbed render settings in 1.5 :slight_smile:

Well, I installed VIZ2008 but I could not reproduce this with any of my old scenes; would it be possible for someone to send me a crashing scene over to vlado@chaosgroup.com?
