Corona plugin Issue?

Hello,

I have been using Corona for long now, and I am very happy with it, and I purchased a license recently to give Corona v1 a try, implementing it my workflow.

After installing the executable file, I could never start max again (I get an immediate crash) , until I remove the plugin Corona dlt plugin files from the Max plugin folder.

I tried removing the files and Max gracefully recovered and started (and all other render engines are working just fine), but as soon as I replace the CoronaUtils2014.dlt and the Corona2014.dlr files, all hell breaks loose.

Tried removing all corona files and reinstalling, same result.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
D.


can you send me the minidump file that was generated in the crash report (see https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000524006)

I will try attaching it here, hope it helps :smiley:

please replace the ms extension with dmp - it would not allow for dmp file upload.

Thank you,
Cheers

I just used the Mantis Bug Tracker to sumbit the issue. Hope it helps, cheers.

I’ve closed the mantis thread - there is no need to have this reported twice

ok, first bug report - inability to upload .dmp - was fixed :wink:

the second bug report - the actual problem: can you try the latest daily build (The one I will make today)? If it still crashes, can you upload me a new minidump from that version?

Sorry, there was a big job I needed to deliver (I couldn’t use Corona because of this issue and I needed to do it :frowning: )

But good news to hear it may be fixed already, will give it a try asap - where is this version downloadable?
Will dump the dump in the upgraded forum if it happens as well :wink:

Cheers and thanks!

Hi rombo, read this on how to use daily builds, please: Daily Builds 1.0 - 1.4 - Corona for 3ds Max :: Previews (Daily Builds) - Chaos Forum

Thank you Romullus.

Hello Ondra, the same happened, while reading Corona2014.dlt in the 3D Studio Max Splashscreen, pauses for a second and then you get the Autodesk crash report.

You can find the new minidump file attached

The same bad thing. Ruins my holidays render.

Tried 1.00.01, latest daily, deleting of En-US folder. Nothig helped.

ok, I investigated, and both crashes are caused by a bug that was already fixed and is no longer happening in daily builds - so just update to daily to solve the problem
