Re: [GD-Windows] MAX Crashes During Batch

[yogiwp <yo...@gm...>]

Good idea! I think I can do something similar.

In our case, max is started in 'silent' mode causing it to not show any dialog box
(apparently including errors boxes). This is necessary because otherwise it will
show dialogs about missing texture etc. and stops the build.

So what I'll try is monitor max' window caption, and if it doesn't change after a
while I know max is stuck.

Thanks all.
