All of a sudden 3DSR4 is crashing when we try to load a .3DS file. Project files are loading fine. The error message is "abnormal program termination." This is on a machine that's run versions 1 thru 3 as well as 4. Anyone else seeing this? !^NavFont01F0007MGHHGC450EB

Sounds like a hard disk problem. If it's limited to .3ds files, it might be limited to your /meshes subdirectory. Have you tried loading and saving files to a different directory? – G

It seems to be getting progressively worse. I can run checkdisk on the offending drives and see what happens. Please note that Stacker is running on the first machine and 3DS is on the Stacked drive. However, Stacker is not running on the second machine.

All I can say is that you're looking at some sort of hardware problem, or corrupted file problem. It's not a core 3DS problem. Perhaps your dealer can help you try to figure out what's going on. If you could come up with an array of test results re loading/saving on various machines that point to a pattern, that would be the only way we could help you from here.

Please read my message about Abnormal termination under <<BCD crash 3ds4>>. Any help greatly appreciated to make our deadlines! Don

I'll take a look at it, but I don't have any experience with the BCD controller. – G
