Hello there, At our company we have been using max 2017 for a couple of years now and are looking to upgrade our max version. We have been trying max 2019 which works great except for one (for us) huge problem. After working on a file, about an hour and an half drag and dropping other max files doesnt give the merge popup and only file > import > merge works. After looking on the forums and google I havent found an answer that works for us.
- UAC set to never notify
- 3Ds is not in admin mode
- Viewport is not disabled
- Set the security settings on the 3ds max folder to “full control”
- deleting the ENU folder
The only thing that helps is restarting the scene which isnt an actual solution and can cost a large amount of time depending on the scene. This occurs and different PCs with different harder, one AMD CPU and one with an Intel CPU, both have NVIDIA GFX card but different variants.
Both PCs have max 2017 and 2019 installed, using V-ray with forest pack pro, railclone and floorgenerator plugin.
problem occurs on small and big files and both local and network.
For now we will be testing max 2020 to see if it is stable and this problem occurs. If anyone knows a solution that would be great and we can start rolling out 2019, we prefer using this one due to the maturatiy with its service packs and updates from third party plugins.
With kind regards,
The DWanimations team
