problematic max scenes - crash on convert to unc paths

[peterguthrie]

we inherited some 3dmax scenes which were crashing on open until i (after hours and hours) narrowed it down to having use UNC file paths 'on' in file preferences.

anyone encountered this?

Hi Peter, is it a rule? I mean, does every scene with "use UNC" on crash? Is the setting in asset tracker, or somewhere else?

thanks for replying Maru. Not a rule, just with a bunch of max files we were sent from another viz studio. very weird

Does it happen only with Corona? Maybe it's 3ds Max problem, for example with file paths? Path naming?
