Maya 2014 crash on placement

[kalan]

MiArmy is crashing when I place the agents in the scene using the placement node. I used to think it was a memory problem because I was trying to place too many, but now it won't even let me place one agent. 

I had a scene file work yesterday (after simply trying it over and over again). Finally I was able to place 90 agents using two separate placements nodes. But today, nothing.

What's going on?

Alright so I learned that if I:

Create a new scene -> bring in my Original Agent -> set the active Agent -> make a placement node -> Place Multiple Agents...
Maya will crash

BUT, if I:

Create a new scene -> bring in my Original Agent -> set the active Agent -> make a placement node -> MOVE THE PLACEMENT MARKER AWAY FROM THE ORIGINAL AGENT'S BOUNDING BOX -> PLACE ONE AGENT -> DEPLACE THE AGENT -> Place Multiple Agents...
Everything is fine.

Any ideas why?

I can still only get up to about 116 or so with a pretty simple character rig, but I'm pretty sure that's a memory issue.

Hello kalan,

I tested the file you sent yesterday and not encounter your problem.
And I recorded a video and sent to your mail box.
Would you please check that out and see where we're different??

Thank you for your feedback and sorry for this problem.
We'll try to solve that asap!

Cheers!

Hi Yeah,

I never got your video, strange.

But we are up and running now and have 1000+ agents in the scene.
Thank you very much!
