Hey!!!! Where'd my message go???? I was really hoping to hear some sort of bug fix of patch to my problem??? OK…. So 3.0 has bugs…what next??? Am I just screwed or what??? My message stated I recieved a "Mfree Error – Validity Check Failure" The first time I rendered GOLD.3DS. It seems to happen the 1st time I render each session. What do I do now? Live with it??? I want to use this packeage… I'm not flaming, I just would like to know if there's anything I can do. ..486/DX266, 16MB ram, 100 mb free HD…… I just want to know if there's anything I can do, or will Adesk come out with a bug fix/patch?? Patrick Malone 70461,3646 Autodesk, are you seeing this??? No flames/just concerned.

Patrick: I saw your message, but it works fine on my systems, so I wouldn't necessarily call it a bug. Is this the only mesh that you are having trouble rendering? Maybe it was a bad install? I just tried it again, and even under Windoze with no problems. Greg Pyros

Greg… I don't know if the problem was with GOLD.3DS or with 3DStudio. I just got kicked out of the programthe 1st time I tried to render it each session. Are you suggesting a total reinstall? I also noticed that sometimes I was kickedout of the program trying to use HILITE. Autocad was never like this!! Even the windows version. I can see I'm going to develop an online friendship with you before it's over!! Patrick Malone

Patrick: Your problem looks similar to a memory problem or a hardware conflict. Without knowing a lot more about your configuration I couldn't even guess what your problem is. But remember, there are thousands of people using R3 already, and the program is holding up very well – all crashes so far that I've heard of have been hardware conflicts, not bugs. <g> They do look similar, though… Greg Pyros

Right on Greg….. I'm running on as weird of hardware setup as it goes; Prolinea 4/50, 12 Mb RAM, 45 Mb left, Targa, VESA driver. The GOLD rendering is a cool image. Never had any prblems. I have learned that any problems I had getting my 3DS up and running were at my end of the court. Bummer as it was. It sure sounds like a memory problem to me. Are there some memory TSRs hanging around? Seems like something is getting reset after the first attempt of rendering. Good luck….we are all on the cutting edge of disaster….

The version of Pharlap (5.0) used in R3 seems to be more finicky with memory conflicts than ol' 2.x. I suggest you re-check, the double-triple re-check you hardware/software configs for any possible conflicts, and start from a fresh install. I recieved many error messages the first few days with R3, but was able to get rid of ALL of them soon after with some serious detective work and help from folks on this forum. Good luck, John Tissavary (La Luna cie)

I just installed the R3 upgrade this past weekend w/ NO (!!!) problems whatsoever. Load the disks, configure the drivers and WOW! 🙂 And thanks to the messages on this forum my network worked on the FIRST try! As far as the new features/ enhancements I…ahhh…ummm…err…well I'm speechless! –Nat'n

Yeah, R3 is a beautiful thing. I'm glad you had such a wonderful installation experience. John Tissavary (La Luna cie)
