We can improve the stability of 3ds Max largely because of the Customer Error Reports (CERs) you submit. By including as much information as possible about what actions you were performing when the error occurred, you increase the report's value immensely. Thank you very much for taking the time, we really appreciate it. For more information, see CERs.
