Hi there,

when i start 3ds Max 2021, i get this error. Installed: Vray 3.2, Corona 7 (Beta), Phoenix FD, Pulse Render Manager, Pulse Scene Manager and some scripts etc.

Any idea how i can solve the problem?

Thank you!

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.

Hi, i´ve just found the solution. I copied the missing "Newtonsoft.Json.dll" to the 3ds Max root folder.

Now everything is fine 😉
