The Mighty Pete comes to the rescue and finally squashes this stupid disturbing bug dead !

I have here for sale lots of dxf files that work with Bryce here in the marketplace and have been getting complaints that they're now for some reason crashing Bryce. What? I figured they have all been already checked and they all work how is this possible?

Well on real careful and many many hours I might add I've come to the conclusion that there is nothing wrong with my files at all and it's a BUG in Bryce.

It all has to do with where the files are sitting on your hard drive and nothing to do with the actual files.

D:/dxf files/ works every time

d:/program files/dxf files/ does not work...

And even more disturbing is that sometimes if you bury your files they will load then trying again makes Bryce crash.

There is no pattern too the crashing. The further down in your drive the higher the probability that it will crash Bryce and at just 2 folders deep the probability is over 80% that Bryce will crash trying to import them.

So the moral of the story is if you bury your dxf files Bryce will crash so to avoid that. Don't put them more than one folder deep.

This is really a silly bug man. Windoz machines are suppose to all handle almost unlimited folder levels.

Are we learning anything here?

Apparently not.
