Hi Tyson,
changing from NTFS to Pal in the time configuration crashes 3dsmax 2018 immediately.
Just scrubb to another frame than 0 in the Timeline open the time configuration and click on PAL. Scene attached!

Fixed in the next build. Note: max seems to have a bug, where when the time units are changed, all reference nodes send a change notification up the stack....so you may notice that when you change the timecode the simulation resets like 10 times in a row. Hitting ESC during this process will prevent the continual resims and restore the viewport, then once the time configuration dialog closes you can resume working as normal.

Hello,
While I dont get a crash, something is still fishy with Time Configuration.
Trying to change Frame Rate from PAL to Custom seems to freeze 3dsmax for quite a while (something like 45 seconds in my example, but it does not crash)
I dont think its isolated to custom to PAL , but happens when you try to switch between those presets. I took a look at CPU utilizization while max was frozen an it seems to use all CPUs but not at 100% but maybe 20-25% per core,
(max 2020 + most current TyFlow version to date)
When the framerate in a scene is changed, max sends reset notifications to all objects. Unfortunately the reset notifications have no tags that differentiate them from any other proper reset notification, so I have no way of filtering these particular ones out. So the delay is likely your sim re-calculating. Just hold ESC to cancel the resim, or alternatively wait for the sim to calculate in order to continue.
I noticed that if you hide the TFlow icon / sim and then open the Framerate controls, it will work as normal.
But the when you unhide and depending on if you changed values, max will recaclulate the sim, but I feel this is much faster than getting stuck in the Framerate Dialogue (where any extra click will also be done in order etc..)
So basically , turn off TyFlow icon before goinf into the framerate dialogue should work fine..
TyFlow continues freezing, If I change Start Time in Time Configuration Panel to 1 and more (not zero). At the same time 3ds Max is working . If I want to close 3ds Max, it request saving file.
This problem appears only in 3ds Max 2018. In 3ds Max 2016 everything is alright.
If I save the file in 3ds Max 2016 and open it in 3ds Max 2018, it works without bugs for some time.
