progressive CPU DR render hangs at pass 0 .. vray5 hotfix 2

[ALEX_SPYROPOULOS]

Hi all , i have several problems with Vray 5 + hotfix 2 max 2020. This is my second project fully build in vray 5 and it is not going well.
Rendering is slower in general , progressive rendering hangs at pass 0 for 5 minutes if i use distributed rendering. I am using bucket but i find it very problematic ... I have vray material library locally for each slave but it is not recognised ... assets are being transferred. In general performance sucks. I have 120 cores in total intel e5 v4 and i get renders that need 10- 15 minutes with 240 threads ... vray next was much much faster. It is a heavy scene with loads of transparencies but vray next was crunching these.

I get gpu crashes and some weird messages that i render region ... while i don't. Is it related with the 50% button in VFB how do you deactivate that ?. After these messages my gpu is crashing ... i am on a titan X . I was having a crash per two weeks with next and i am having 3 crashes per day with vray 5.

I am not sure what causes the crash of the progressive render there is no message on the console at all.

It is a bit of a mess.

Ok the progressive rendering works with transferring missing assets on ... Could you add a message or something for this ?Could you possibly make sure that there is a global variable with the location of the vray material library in each slave.

Hmm still DR progressive rendering hangs from time to time ... IF i sent it a couple of times it goes through. These are the messages from a render that stopped completely ... After that i sent it again and it went through. I have restart servers on , transfer missing assets ...
