Local is always faster for me too, and eliminates issues.  But now with an employee and more demands, I have to be network based.

I've often run into issues with 3ds max when saving large files over the network.  Makes me wonder about that as a significant bottleneck and limitation\liability of the software.  In the help files their official answer is 'Max is a single instance, non-network program...don't use it over a network' basically.  Kind of an interesting (lame) approach :)

Solution:
3ds Max is not a server application. It was designed to work locally. While it may work to a certain degree over networks and servers, it was not designed to work that way, so support is not guaranteed to help resolve all issues regarding network issues.

Hey Juraj - just wondering why you wouldnt use something like dropbox?  Since ive been using a pro account with heaps of storage space, ive never had to back up again and it synchronizes across your devices as you wish.

Just noticed I now have the option of "Ryzen High Performance" option. Have you tested this vs Ultimate Performance?

shortcirkuit:
where did you see this?  im on windows 10 so not sure how that would apprear?

romullus:
I've read that with Zen 3 processors, Ryzen high performance plan is obsolete and therefore it is hidden from view. If you have Ryzen 5xxxX CPU, then it is recommended to use balanced power plan. I tried it in Corona benchmark and it looks that high performance plan does not give any benefit and in fact it was even slightly slower than balanced.
