that works but scene03.max is still the active scene that is loaded. On the "do you want to try again" message I choose yes and then "save as" scene04.max. If I try to save as it will save as the new file name, but, the old file name is still the active scene. I have disabled autobak and un-checked Backup on Save (per above).Įvery time I save I get the error then go thru the next couple of error messages the last one asking "do you want to try to save again" I select "yes" and it, almost always, saves on that second try. Now with a fairly simple scene, I get the file save error message every time I try to save the scene. Has anyone else experienced these can't save file errors, and then you get prompted to try again and it saves?

This problem, when it doesn't save, is renaming the scene file and saving with a date and I think time code appended to the file name.and a screwy file extension of. Then sometimes it will save autobak and regular save as with no trouble.Īs of yesterday a new twist has appeared. Possibly started with new work station/win 10 but can't be sure of that either. This whole thing has become so problematic that for the second time on a project, maybe more than that not sure, I have disabled AutoBAK, and I don't like to do that. That has not happened.yet.Īnother symptom is that AutoBAK takes about 4 times longer that a regular file>save. Needless to say this is a time sink but more importantly it causes me a lot of distraction and worry that my scene may become corrupt. sometimes I need to make it a new name IOW from scene08>saves as scene09. I can almost, but no always, save again successfully. This progresses to where when doing save from the within the scene, not autobak, I start getting the same error messages. When I try again it usually saves the scene in the scene folder, not as an autobak, and seems to save it ok. The first symptom is the AutoBAK will deliver a "can't save file" error message and ask if I want to try again.

Not sure what that size is maybe around 500M.

It seems to start happening when file/scene size gets beyond a certain size. Posting here to see if anyone else experiences this or has any suggestions for trouble shooting problem. I have had this problem with previous version of Max so I don't think it's version specific. I think it's a problem with Max, but maybe specific to my system. I don't think this has anything to do with Vray.
