For me it's not crashing, but i'm using latest V9 build, which has fix for the issue and Corona is not set as default renderer in my Max.
I'm not Corona Team member. Everything i say, is my personal opinion only.

Still on Corona 8 as I need a stable release for production - 2023.2.2 did not fix the render setup crash here.

its not fixed in the 2023.2.2 update.
you can set any renderer that is not Corona to default and then have to switch back to Corona every time, to avoid the problem.
but that obviously still sucks.

last few weeks were rough, yesterday this issue also prevented me from sending jobs to the render farm. I was up till 2:00 AM uninstalling and reinstalling max didn't help. I have to finish 3 projects by mid next week. why is this happening? so no fix to 8.2? why?

Hi,

As I said before, this is an Autodesk bug and really needs to be addressed on their side.

We managed to patch it for the v9 daily builds, but right now don't have plans to port it back to v8.

I don't know if it will help you, but someone said that assigning a different renderer in Render Setup and then switching back to Corona will avoid the crash. Need to do it every time you restart Max, or assign a different default renderer. Hope that can help!

Any reference, or just personal experience?

Had it happen to me today. Seems to be related to the chamfer update.

The file opening issue with Chamfer fixed in 2023.2.2.

Then you can try to put this in script/startup folder.
Either
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2023\scripts\Startup
or
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2023 - 64bit\ENU\scripts\startup

just save any .ms file something like "coronafix,ms"

renderers.current = DefaultScanlineRenderer()
renderers.current = CoronaRenderer()

Hi,

Right now we are not planning on that, we have been in contact with the guys at Autodesk and they are looking into a fix for 3ds max itself.

So hopefully they will manage to patch it and fix the root cause.

Cheers,

Rowan

I'm not sure about this.
If Corona is the only plugin that has issue, why would Autodesk do anything?
Also even tho they might do something, I think Corona should release fix until then.

You can first go to the Performance tab in Render Setup and then close the window. After that, the program does not close

Hi,

This is fixed in 3ds max 2023.3. I have tested and there is no longer a crash when opening/closing the render setup dialogs.

Thanks,

Rowan
