Using non-English or special characters (like @, #, $, %, & ) in filenames or folder paths can cause the archiving script to crash.

Real-time scanners (Windows Defender, McAfee, Sophos) often quarantine or lock .zip files because they are common malware carriers. Simultaneously, cloud sync tools (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox) may try to upload the archive while 3ds Max is still writing it. 3ds max file archive failed code 1
