3Ds Max 2015 - State sets Error

SleepyRosenborg

Hello everyone!

After trying to google my way to a solution as well as reinstalling 3Ds Max twice, while taking away any residual files the second time, I really don't know how to fix this one.

When I start up 3Ds Max I get the Max.Net Unhandled Exception showed in the picture, then it starts up as usual, but as soon as I try to click the "Render" tab or right-click, I get the State Sets Error in the picture, first the top one, then after clicking okay, the second one. This happens every time I try to use either function, both in old and new files.

If any of you know what this might be, I'd be so happy for your help.

Have you tried reinstalling .net ? Might make a difference.

Tried to install that one, just said that I already had the newest version. After trying to use a netfx cleanup tool and some additional snooping, it seems that it's part of the OS, according to some thread.
I'm sorry for not specifying I'm on Windows 10

However I haven't upgraded to it recently, but the most recent thing I've done in 3Ds Max I can remember is trying to use the Sketchfab Exporter. I have tried to re-install and uninstall it, but to no aid.

I should also add that this pops up when I open up previously existing files, but not new, empty ones.

managed to fix the missing dll-message, but initial problems are still there.

Find this file …\bin\assemblies\Autodesk.Max.StateSets.dll (example for path –  C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2015\bin\assemblies\Autodesk.Max.StateSets.dll) and Rename it Autodesk.Max.StateSets.dll.back

 

p.s. before that you have to enable to view the hidden files and file extension"

 

This worked for me

I tried that before the rest, sadly it didnt work for me ^^ googled around some for other fixes that didnt work, and now it does. I'm not sure if my computer was just mad at me and decided to fuck something up, but it works atleast...
3Ds Max is voodoo.

Hi there,

Just open your scene > right click in your view port > Manage State Sets...



then select: States > Options > Reset State Sets



you'll get a message like this:



I personally didn't have any of that to lose, so I chose 'Yes', saved my file, closed Max before reopening my scene and both errors were gone.
