3ds max minidump dmp

I have just got 2014 3ds max (Student Edition). It was working fine for a few days. Then yesterday i tried to start it up and it crashed. I have tried repairing it, re installing it, download the service pack for Autodesk.

Here are the Error Details:

Error Signature:
Application: 3ds Max
Version: 3ds Max 16 — 64 bits ENU
Error: Unhanded Exception

3dsmax_minidump.dmp
dmpuserinfo.xml
dumpdata.zip

Sorry if any of the info above is useless. But any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time

Hey Vortex, did you manage to solve the crash problem?

I’m gonna first tell you what I did which DIDN’T work:
— update GPU drivers.
— install remaining Windows updates.
— download and install the 3ds Max 2014 Service Pack 1.
— Reinstalled 3ds Max 2014.

After all this the program kept crashing giving me the exact error that is giving you.
My very last resort was to CHANGE THE DATE. Since yesterday Max was working fine and today it just didn’t start, the only thing that changed was the date, so I configured the Windows day and time to be a couple of days ago and it worked!

Проблема

Причины

При аварийном завершении работы 3ds Max (или программного обеспечения Autodesk) программа обычно спрашивает, требуется ли отправить пользовательский отчет об ошибках с адресом электронной почты. Это журнал сбоев, который выгружается в базу данных Autodesk, где разработчики программ и технические специалисты могут выполнять поиск.

При создании заявки на техническую поддержку укажите все зарегистрированные номера CER или адреса электронной почты, присоединенные к отчетам CER. Затем персонал технической поддержки Autodesk сможет выполнить поиск в базе данных CER и указать точный модуль, в котором обнаружена ошибка программного обеспечения. Иногда эти модули находятся в основном коде 3ds Max, а иногда они сами указывают на сторонние подключаемые модули, драйверы видеокарт и компоненты Windows.

Кроме того, некоторые CER свяжутся непосредственно с неполадками, опубликованными в базе данных разработчиков Autodesk. Технический специалист службы технической поддержки может также просмотреть отчеты об ошибках и использовать их для предоставления клиентам возможных исправлений или решений по проблеме, которая вызвала сбой.

Решение

По возможности отправьте журнал CER при каждом сбое 3ds Max или любого другого продукта Autodesk. Однако если после сбоя при отправке отчета CER журнал не был получен, можно найти локальные файлы дампа аварийного потока, сохраненные на рабочей станции в 3ds Max, и отправить их специалистам службы технической поддержки для оценки.

Чтобы их найти, откройте меню «Пуск» Windows, скопируйте и вставьте следующую строку:

Откроется окно Проводника Windows, в котором можно выполнить поиск файла 3ds Max_minidump.dmp. Скопируйте и вставьте последнюю версию этого файла на рабочий стол Windows.

Затем в меню «Пуск» Windows скопируйте и вставьте следующую строку:

Это позволит вам выполнять поиск файлов с именем 3dsmax.exe. dmp.» Скопируйте и вставьте последнюю версию этого файла на рабочий стол Windows.

Затем создайте архив файлов DMP (minidump и 3dsmax.exe) на настольном компьютере и присоедините их к сообщениям в службу технической поддержки Autodesk по электронной почте (также можно выгрузить их с помощью учетной записи на портале Autodesk Account и перейдите по ссылке «Поддержка»). Эти файлы могут помочь специалистам Autodesk более эффективно диагностировать проблемы с программным обеспечением.

Если требуется просмотреть содержимое этих файлов и попытаться проанализировать, в каком месте может произойти сбой, можно просмотреть их, загрузив бесплатное приложение WinDbg в Microsoft Store. Это приложение позволяет пользователям, не имеющим программного обеспечения, с большей легкостью читать файлы DMP, не выходя из приложения отладки, например Microsoft Visual Studio.

How to report issues — 3ds Max

Introduction

If you encounter an issue and you are not able to solve it by yourself, the best idea is to contact us. A properly prepared report will be easier to understand for our team and will also guarantee that the problem is fixed as quickly as possible. A chaotic, vague description will usually bring the opposite effects — it will be hard to understand for our support team and for developers, and analyzing it will require additional time and effort.

Here are some guidelines how to prepare error reports, and how to do it properly:

Include as much information about the problem as possible, such as:

What is the main problem?
Describe the problem in one sentence. Do not mention any other problems that you are experiencing at the same time, even if they seem related. It is best to include one issue per report.
Good example: «3ds Max crashes when creating a Corona Light object»
Bad example: «My 3ds Max crashes and I don’t know why. maybe it is related to the other bug I reported on the forum! Please help!»

Short description of what exactly you did right before the problem appeared, and what exactly happened afterwards.
Good example: «I selected my active camera, then created a new Corona Light object, then enabled «visible in reflections» option. When I tried to render, 3ds Max crashed with an error message.»
Bad example: «I click render. Then computer freezes.»

In case of crashing or freezing — attach a 3ds Max minidump file (more details how to do it can be found below in points 1 and 2).

Add screenshots of render settings, material editor, or any other UI elements that might be helpful.
If you changed some render settings — show us what settings you are using.
If you created some non-standard material (maybe using a plugin?) — show us your material setup.
If there is slow rendering, problems with pre-rendering stage, etc. — show us the «stats» panel of the Corona VFB.
Attach any other screenshots that you think may help us identify the problem. The more, the better.

Host your problematic scene using our uploader and let us know what’s the file name.
We accept files up to 10GB (using the Dropbox option). Be sure to notify us about the uploaded file, and let us know what is the file name.

If possible, send a video showing the issue.
V >

Use points (1. 2. 3. ) and short, easy to understand sentences.
This is much more convenient than writing long, elaborate descriptions.

Report your issue in one place only, rather than sending us messages through the forum, support portal, bug tracker, and by email at the same time. Duplicate reports may cause a lot of confusion, and in turn will make the problem solving process much slower. It is best to report the issue in one place, and patiently wait for a reply. We do our best to reply within 24 hours from the original report, and usually this time is much shorter.

• Always provide information which Corona and 3ds Max version you were using.

Quick Links

Submit a report as support ticket. (bugs, technical issues, rendering problems, licensing questions, payment issues. )

Your report will be logged as a ticket in our support system, and one of our agents will contact you as soon as possible. We do our best to reply within 24 hours from the original report, and usually this time is much shorter.

Our working hours are Monday — Friday 10:00 — 18:00 CET.

Bug reporting forum section.

You are welcome to report bugs on our forum. There is a chance that our support agents or developers will spot our forum thread and will contact you about further information, or that the Corona Renderer community will provide you with help without the official team’s intervention. This method does not however guarantee that your issue will be thoroughly checked by the team, and there is a (small) chance that it will be overlooked. Using the support portal is definitely the preferred solution for dealing with serious bugs and urgent help requests.

Private uploader. You can use it to host large scene files (up to 10GB) related to your bug reports, and then notify us about it.

1. Crashes — Collecting the Minidump File when Autodesk Error Report Window is Available

If you experience a 3ds Max crash, please explain what exactly happened before the crash (what button you clicked, what error message appeared, what key you pressed. ), and include the minidump file (.dmp):

What is the minidump file?

A minidump file contains information that allows us to understand an issue (such as what exactly happened during the 3ds Max crash or freeze), and helps our developers provide a fix, or at least an explanation, as soon as possible.

How to get the 3ds Max minidump file?

When 3ds Max crashes, it usually displays «3ds Max Error Report» window. To find the location of your minidump file:

1. Do not close the error report window during this whole process

2. Click on «View Report Details»

3. Hover your mouse over each file to see its location. We need the .dmp file.

4. Go to that location and find the .dmp file.

5. Archive the .dmp file using software of your choice (.zip, .rar, .7z will work fine) — this way the dump file may get even 10 time smaller!

6. Send it to us along with the description of the problem. The preferred contact channel is our support portal. You can host your minidump using our uploader and let us know in the report what’s the file name.

Additionally, please provide us with information which Corona version you are using!

2. Crashes, Errors, Freezes — Collecting the Min >

If you are experiencing a recurrent error that you are able to reproduce (for example a window shows up in 3ds Max saying «DEBUG ALERT» or 3ds Max freezes in certain situation), simply download and use this tiny application to obtain the minidump file:

When the error message appears, or during the freeze, run the Process Explorer, find «3dsmax.exe» process, select it and go to Process > Create Dump > Create Minidump. then save the file in a desired location and upload it to us. The preferred contact channel is our support portal. You can host your minidump using our uploader and let us know what’s the file name.

Additionally, please provide information which Corona version you are using!

3. Rendering Problems (Possible Bugs, Incorrect Rendering, Problems with Lights, Materials, etc.)

Archive option in 3ds Max:

4. Exceptionally Slow Rendering

5. Reporting Problems with Distributed Rendering

We will analyze the log files and will return to you with our findings as quickly as possible.
