      Today the project manager did not start. I checked all the files are in place. What could be the problem? Should I reinstall the manager?

    Plugin version: latest
    3ds Max version: 2055

      Hi,

      The error you’re seeing:

      “.NET runtime exception: database disk image is malformed”

      indicates that the local SQLite database used by Project Manager has become corrupted. This is a known SQLite error that usually occurs when the file is unexpectedly modified or accessed improperly.

      > ✅ You do not need to reinstall Project Manager.

      🛠 How to Fix It:

      1. Launch 3ds Max, then go to Project Manager > Preferences > Database tab.

      2. Click the “Restore Database” button.

      This will rebuild the damaged database while preserving as much data as possible.

      3. If you want to preserve a copy of the corrupted file for recovery:

      Go to:

      C:\Users\Lacesz\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2025 – 64bit\ENU\scripts\Kstudio\ProjectManager_3\

      Rename any .db file (e.g. settings_corrupted.db) before restoring.

      ⚠ Possible Cause

      One common cause of this error is trying to share a SQLite database across multiple computers simultaneously (e.g. placing the .db file on a network share or syncing it via Dropbox/OneDrive).

      > SQLite is not designed for concurrent access from multiple machines – doing so can easily lead to corruption.

      If you need to use a shared database across a team, we highly recommend switching to MySQL, which is supported in Project Manager and is specifically built for multi-user environments.

      I am stuck with the mysql database because it doesn’t work with the stable version 8. Version 9 is still unreleased and is an officially unreleased development version, so we have more problems with the installation and configuration, but then I will have to work on it.

      thank you Tom
