very strange problem with dr?

[tonymacdonald]

something strange has happened to me when enabling dr.

when i enable dr and commenced rendering i get an error message saying "error writing to file"

my local pc starts rendering the current scene with 2 buckets. The two pc's (using dr) start rendering as well but they are rendering a previous scene i was working on a coulpe of days ago?

So im watching my pc render the correct scene then the dr computers render a completely different scene overtop?.

Is this weird or what?

Any help would be much appreciated.

yea, i've seen this a few times.. it looks like the dr network cache file gets locked and isn't able to overwrite itself sometimes..

save your file, close max.. and then go into the 3dsmax7\network directory and try and delete the file.

give it a try

Thanks for your advice, that did the trick.

I love this forum!!! I was having the same problem, searched the site and found this fix, it worked for me too. Thanks

Has this been solved, because I am always getting this. My Max file is 40-50MB and it takes a while to save, close, restart every time this happens. Also, killing and restarting Vrayspawner on each slave takes a while.

Vlado - any chance I could have the latest build where DR apparently works better?
