Hey Yuri,
thanks for the response. See below for answers to your questions.
At this point I am fairly certain this is a bug in the exporting process. In particular the file size restrictions
My export settings are as follows:
wavefront OBJ
export geometry: models
Do not export any terrain layers
One file as long as Memory budget is not exceeded
memory budget 0
Do not merge any meshes
Do not write any vertex normals
Do not write any UVs
Unchecked merge vertices within precision
Checked triangulate meshes
Unchecked include materials
I am able to reproduce the hanging with any combination of the above settings, including different export details, and formats.
The one field that does not produce the error is the memory budget.
According to documentation the 0 in memory budget makes it unlimited, so a single output file is produced.
If instead I place a large value here (say 500Mb) then the export continues without a problem.
The memory consumption increases slowly but steadily according to the task manager roughly a few hundred Kb every couple of seconds (the machine is relatively idle, so I expect this increase is from CE).
2. I did run in safe-mode, had the same issues.
