Skipped rednder node - WHY? VRay 2.5

[Morne]

Why would a render node be skipped if the spawner is up and running and waiting for a job?



...and it even says "rednder" node

Then little later it tries again and this time it is "Render" host



Ok I can live with the typo, but why would it be skipped in the 1st place?

AND, while we're on the subject, can we get some consistency please. It sometimes shows node name and other times IP address depending on where it is in the progress. It would be nice to have a setting in DR to display either IP, Node name, or Both at all times

I double checked, in my DR settings max servers is set to 0. Also restared max, still nothing

Also tried the reverse, added a ridiculous high number in there, makes no difference

It was them darn aliens I tell you!
After restarting the entire pc, the issue went away

I've seen this happen before, like you said restarting 3ds Max usually helps. Not quite sure why yet.

In my case restarting max DIDNT help. I had to restart the whole pc for it to go away

Hi Morne,

Something that you may try is to delete the vray_dr.cfg file from the workstation as soon as this issue appears again and refill the DR settings window with all DR nodes. Then run another DR job.

The .cfg file could be found here :
C:\Users\[User_name]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\[Version_Number] - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg

Thanks, I'll try it next time it happens
