vrayspawner keeps shutting down

[rivoli]

I'm having some trouble with dr. I'm testing it just with two machines, one client and one server. no matter what I try to do but either the vrayspawner on the client machine gives an exception without even starting rendering or it starts but can't complete it and shuts down (it never takes part to the irr map computing either way).
max 6, vray 1.47.03 and I can't seem to find anything wrong in the spawner log on the server machine (it starts max and opens vraydummy60.max as it should).

here's a sample image of what I got when the exception pops up

error: UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: Rendering image
Last marker is at P:\dev\LocalVSS\vray\vrender\src\vray.cpp, line 1318: VRay::getMaxBgColor()



and here's what I got when the client starts rendering (the client finishes its part and rendering just hangs like this):




10.10.10.35 is the server.

On your slave, does Max and Spawner start on taskbar and close out almost immediately or does it shut down while rendering?

[rivoli]

it shuts down only when rendering, and then after shutting down it restarts in a matter of seconds.
