Hi i’ve the same problem, only from 1.7 release … i work good, i do preview, i do fix and refix.. when i start final render, in stand-alone or distribuite mode, max crash … in all scene, i think, easy or complex… i restart max, i restart render and all work fine… No upgrade o new software in my comp … nothing is changed.
With Vray, or Fstorm i’ve no this problem.
ah … may be — may be — is no when i start use 1.7, but when i start use corona camera … mmmmm may be is that ? in next days i try to reuse vraycam,
Did you try updating to 1.7.2? If that doesn’t work, please generate minidump from the crash (see my signature for the details) and send it to us.
Any news here? If it’s still there, can we have a minidump or a sample scene?
