I'm using 3ds max 2017 under windows 10 x64, and the Afterworks.dlu is from the 10th of november 2016.
Complementary info. I use Supermeshers as collider (Boomerlabs). The current render engine is Vray, but i'll swap to Redshift for Volume rendering. I also use Betterwind as force among other default Wind spacewarps. And i tried to open the file on an other machine with Windows 7 and it opens fine there. I just managed to open the file again under windows 10, after complete reinstall of 3ds max and plug ins. The scene crashed again. I tried to open the scene on my secondary monitor and finally it opened again, but i wouldn't consider that the fix. I'm too scared to troubleshoot more now and test it further and need to move forward while i can. But i'm working in a land mine field, and this sucks.
Conclusion, Everything points at some incompatibility with Windows 10, just the fact that 3ds max " hangs" (blue spinning circle) when opening the file is not a good sign, this does not happen under Windows 7. I'm not sure what windows 10 does, but it's a night mare to work with this OS.
Any feedback welcome and appreciated.
Cheers,
A.
