I have this annoyance: 2.2 crashes and takes my files with it. Occasionally (every 30 minutes) Keyshot will crash when I'm adjusting a material setting. Then when I open the most recent saved file, all my material assignments will be gone, the entire model will be shaded in the material I was adjusting when it crashed.
What to do?
Same thing here ... sometimes it only crashes when I save AFTER adjusting material.
Yesterday I had a situation where I was still able to acces the menu, but the render screen seemed frozen. I couldn't rotate the model or zoom. When I tried to save the file that time -> crash.
We just made 2.2.42 available. Can you see if this still happens? We have not been able to reproduce the issue on our end.

I have crashes on 2.2.42 while selecting parts/assigning materials.
I never had this before.
The realtime screen freezes.
I still can select file on the menu toolbar.
when I try to save it stops at 99%.
Is this consistently reproducible?

Well I found this problem on two similar files.
These where exported in 3ds format from 3DSMAX to Rhino3d and then exported to Keyshot by the Rhino 3D plug in.
I can say that the crash or freezing occurs repeatedly while doing the same select/add material operations.
Normally we usually do Solidworks files.
Adjusting the same Material twice - as reference for a new Material - force the crash, so I can confirm that this will happen all the time.
I had this happen only once in 2.2.3 crashed and messed up saved bip file. Upon reopening the model was absent, had to start over. I'm saving my files like a madman now.
Mine just started doing this crash while working on materials also. I too am using an imported bip file, I tried something that has seemed to work I immediately did a save as with a new name and it has not (yet) repeated the crash, I am thinking that whatever the inconsistency was it was fixed when Keyshot saved it. Might just be a fluke too but only time will tell...
If you can share a file with support then we will work on fixing the issue. So far we have not been able to reproduce it on our side.
Thanks,

I have actually had a similar problem with Keyshot. Keyshot wants to continually stop at 99% of saving and will freeze up. It doesn't matter how long you wait either. From what I've seen, I can leave it overnight trying to save and it will still be at 99% the next day. I have been able to reproduce this pretty frequently too. I have gotten it to happen by rendering out a large rendering and realize while it is rendering that I want to save the Keyshot file. Everything acts cool and doesn't seem to give the computer an issue with RAM or anything and then 99% hits and its lock up that file. The worst part is that chances are the reason why I am saving the file is because I am pleased with the way the materials are rendering out and when it locks up it is back to step one reassigning materials. I have slowly gotten the hang of this glitch and just learned to always save each file before rendering out the shot you want. And just to clear up what version I have... I have had this issue happen with all of the updates including the latest one. Hope this helps solve the problem.
