- Right after installing successfully, Maxwell Render and the MXED close instantly after trying to open them on a new computer.

The problem could be related to the common libeay32.dll library included with Maxwell. Most probably, the system uses a newer version than the one provided by Maxwell.

Please follow these instructions to solve it:

  • Go to the Maxwell installation folder and locate libeay32.dll file.

  • Rename it to libeay32.dll00 (we are disabling it by doing this).

  • Try to open Maxwell Render now. If it opens fine, we have located the problem. Even though it opens, there will be some internet-related services like the Cloud render, the License Activator and the Online Material Gallery that won’t work at the moment.

  • Let’s replace the one included with Maxwell with another one from your system. Most probably, you will find it in this folder in your system: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\ODBC Drivers\Redshift\lib\OpenSSL64.DllA

  • Find the file in that folder and copy it into the Maxwell installation folder

  • Maxwell should still open now but all the services mentioned before should be working fine.

If you cannot find it in that path, you can make a search in your system or you can download it from this link:
