VRay Lens Effects is broken (glare only)

[zeronove]

ultra basic repro steps:
new scene
create a sphere vrlight
create a a vraycamera
press "8" for render effects and add a vraylenseffects
press update scene - ok
check bloom and press update effects - ok
check glare and press update effects - crash
everything else is default

this happens with:
w7 pro x64
3dsmax design 2011 x64
vray 2.20.2
running on:
dual xeon e5645 2.4 ghz
12 gb

thanks for the fix but I still have minor issue:
vrfb doesn't autorefresh where max fb does; I've have to press sRGB button twice to update lens effects; it happens with or without "interactive" checked, any ideas?

NEVERMIND it seems to work with other scenes, I've to test it better

Hello,

How or where can I obtain the fix because I'm currently dealing with this problem. I'm using 3dsmax 2012.

Thank You,

I don't think we released a fix for this, since we could not reproduce it here and Alessandro did not provide further details. If you have more specific reproduction steps or a scene that you can send us to vray@chaosgroup.com, we will be able to look into it.

Best regards,

I solved this kind of issue (the crashing one) installing the latest release that actually is 2.20.3; from your video I can read that yours is still 2.20.1; download it again and probably it will be solved for you as well

[rob.m]

I received the following reply (below)from them on Jan. 9 and haven't heard from them since. I might just have to install the latest build like Alessandro suggests.
