Verge3D’s menu separator id causes network rendering to fail (3dsmax)

Hello there,

I found an indirect bug with 3dsmax version of Verge3D.
This one was hard to track, as 3dsmax and Verge3D are working smoothly.
In fact, since some months, each time i wanted to put my main PC in network rendering using Backburner, all my other PCs were nicely rendering, but not my main PC, the fastest one…

As Backburner did not changed since billions years, i always thought that this bug was him, for sure. And as Backburner is very low on error tracking (famous unknown error -xxx), i was just letting go and manually manage animation renders.

But, Renderfix.io just released a backburner replacer : CoreFinder (nice looking, lots of infos, and even in alphe, already more accurate and reliable than backburner, i recommand).
And when i tested it, i got again my main PC giving an error and won’t render.
But now i have a nice intelligible error text (see screenshot), and the problem was not backburner all thoses months / years. When 3dsmax is launching a no-GUI occurence for rendering, something is trying to create a menu separator, can’t, and crashes.

The network (backburner or Corefinder) do works when i remove / rename the ENU folder, but i lose all my personnals settings.
So i tried to do so : fresh new ENU created again when 3dsmax launches, and i tried one by one all my plugins and scripts…
Guess what ? Verge3D is the faulty one :
– No Verge3D installed : network rendering works,
– Verge3D installed : network rendering nope.
>> tried unsetting the “menu” and “ribbon” and both during installation : whatever i choose, Verge3D ribbon and menu are there, and network render bugs.

I asked ChatGPT to identify the menu id, and – of course – it gave me 3-4 scrips for that, none of them worked.

So, please, can you check what is going on with dynamic menu creation or something, and please look at my screenshots to see that error.
“CreateMenuSeparator failed. Can’t create separator with id ‘e16cd………35a3a’. Id is already in use.”
