Well, this error has returned!
Background: we are rendering an animation of a huge business park. All our machines are Dual Xeon 3GHz with 2GB RAM. When using backburner to render frames from a saved solution, we get sporadic failed renders from all the machines - say every 5th render or so.
Solution: disable HT and it all works flawlessly.
Now I have just built a test AMD X2 render machine as we are thinking of purchasing a few. First test renders are fine and very (very) quick! Nice.
We have just added this machine to the aforementioned large business park animation job and, low and behold, I have just had the exact same error message. Its only happened once so far (and it has only rendered about 4 or 5 frames) so it *could* be a one off. However, I am suspicious.
Now I know that the X2s don't use HT, but they are dual core and maybe using similar processes. Therefore I obviously can't turn off HT. Is there anything similar that vray has an equal problem with? Put it this way: if Vray has the same problems rendering large complex scenes with an AMD X2 as it does with (some) systems that have Hyperthreading enabled, there are going to be some very angry people.
The nature of this project is such that we will not be able to email it to support. It is around 100MB in size with countless textures and large saved Irmaps etc. This cannot be a memory problem as some frames render, others do not.
Anyone else share this? Doubtful I know as the X2s haven't been out all that long. Our problem is we are about to make a large investment in these X2 machines so we need to know beforehand if there is a solution similar to disabling hyperthreading on some dual Xeon machines.
