We are encountering long files opening, takes 3-4 minutes to open 80 mb file (compressed), which is painfull when using DR (3-4 min parsing). Anyone else has this problem? We have 10gb network, so assets loading isn`t it.
Thanks!
Edit: Charlie has it all written down, seems to be a major problem, would be great if everyone with the problem to join the discussion:
So could be good to have a summary post can anyone prove/disprove/add to any of the following;
Factors the issue is not directly related too. - ie the issue still occurs with a change/removal of said items
Server OS - Qnap,FreeNAS,Synology all tested
Antivirus Software - Disabled + tested on Multiple
Client OS - Windows7/Windows 10 Testes
3DS MAX Service Packs - SP3 and SP4 Tested
XREFS
FTH
Factors that seem to resolve the issue. - ie The issue has not come about post action
Copying a file + assets locally.
Removing all maps & assets.
Possible causes.
File watch system
Assets files locking?
his problem was the bottleneck transfer data in RAID disk read/write (May need more investigation but as far as I can see this is not the issue)

Observations - All on the same scene file
When opening the file whilst watching it load into RAM a sudden slow/freeze occurs
After opening this file opening a second copy of 3DS Max at the same time and trying to open the file again (whilst the first copy is still trying to load almost always loads perfectly
Network not stressed at time of file opening
