fattonyrends Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hello there, Recently purchased windows is not handling 3ds max. It keep crashing while rendering. I increased virtual memory to 3 times more than actual (32 GB ) and it keep crashing. Windows ,3ds max and Vray are properly purchased. Thank you for any input.

Chris MacDonald Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Does it crash when you render ANYTHING or just one particular scene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattonyrends Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 I rendered like 3-4 scenes and it crashed on 2 bigger ones. But those scene are going smoothly on other PCs with win 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencertuffnell Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi Tony, Can you please specify your 3ds Max Version, and your current windows build. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris MacDonald Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hmm, that's an odd one. I've had far less issues on win 10 than 7 personally. Have you made sure all of the latest versions of the software are installed? I believe 3DS max 2016 is on service pack 3 now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattonyrends Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 The problem is that officially there is still no support from autodesk on windows 10. So even autodesk is saying that is might not be 100 % compatible with win 10. I am just trying to understand what might be the problem before downgrading to lower win.

Josef Wienerroither Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Do you use a 32 GB swapfile or even meant you have the size increased to 96 GB ? ( 3 x 32 GB ) I would recommend reducing the swapfile to the bare minimum, even when windows recommends otherwise Lock the swapfile size by setting minimum/maximum the same value If you ever see your RAM being eaten up to its limits during rendering, buy more RAM, don't rely on the OS paging out to the swapfile I use only a fixed size of 4GB, though i never come near the machines hardware RAM limit which is 32GB too And rendering ( i guess MR ? ) is the least likely module to cause troubles with a new OS, more likely are UI, input and viewport glitches And Autodesk ( and other software companies ) always take a over-cautious position when making public statements about compatibility, especially with new OS'es Edited April 5, 2016 by spacefrog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
