X5 RunTime Error When Changing Material Emissivity...

[HumbleChief]

...and Chief X5 shut down. I was changing the emissivity of the light bulb on a recessed spot light and got the following error TWICE. Just sayin'.

And yeah yeah I know I should report this to support at www.whatever.whatever but when I tried I got stuck with 'what's my serial number' and don't have the time to try and find that sucker.

[rant]Maybe the Chief guys will see it here, maybe they won't but they won't get a genuine crash report from me till reporting them is made easier for the user.[/rant]

I already reported this to Chief on the first day I used x5, the error occurs not only by changing emissivity but also when modifying material properties like changing textures not native to chief, adjusting reflectivity etc. I thought the errors were gone for good when I closed and reopened x5 but they are back again.

-No reply yet from Idaho.

My temporary solution is to adjust materials in plan view.
