Yea, Spawner is broken again (sarcasm)

[tashko.zashev]

Not yet, but we are working on that regard.
As soon as the fix is part of the 2.x nightly or stable builds, will update the thread.

The latest (today's) V-Ray 2.5 nightly build has a fix for this issue.

Great - it works now, thank you!

I found another problem that all the nodes doesn't collect any assets when path is set to a mapped drive/when I switch to UNC paths all works fine. All computer have access to the mapped drive.
All computers/windowses and such are the same as it was a week ago when everything worked fine - all I did was to "upgrade" from MAX2013 to MAX2015(sp3).
I tried to look for the problem in forum but didn't find anyone with something simillar.


Did any one of you guys have such a problem - any solution?

Thank you very much for your update.

How do you run the V-Ray DR spawner as service or starting it manually ?
If it is a service, please make sure that you've set up Log On account for the V-Ray spawner service like described here :

Are there any plans to release 2.x stable builds with that fix? Or do i need access to the nightly builds?

Yes, it is already added to the latest stable_2.5 \ 20150113 build. Sorry, that I haven't mentioned this in my prior post.

I'm sure I missed something.. because i can't find your mentioned version on the download page (http://www.chaosgroup.com/en/2/downloads.html?s=v-ray).

Is there somewhere a special download section?!

Actually you will need access to the V-Ray 2.x nightly/stable builds. I have to check what is the plan about the next official 2.x service pack release.
If you need this fix urgent, please contact us via our support system (support@chaosgroup.com) with request for V-Ray 2.x nightly build access.

OK I got access to the nightlies, but there are 3 options.

Whats the difference between these 3:
Latest Build
Nightly
Stable_2.5

...and which one should I be downloading for the fix?

This build should work fine >> stable_2.5 \ 20150113
Latest build - is just a quick access to the latest nightly build only.
Stable - has mostly important fixes

[Morne]

Thanks for the quick response!

[Morne]

It's asking for a password when I want to extract the rar?
The mail I received didn't mention what it is

[visionsbox]

Same here. I've written already a mail to support@chaosgroup.com but didn't get any response.

Still haven't found solution to my problem.
I run the spawner manually with "as administrator" option. All my assets are on File Server running Linux Debian - with Samba configured in a way that no login/passwords are necessary at all. All the NODEs and Workstation have the same Windows with the same configuration as a week ago when everything worked perfectly. All I did was "upgrading" 3DSMAX2013 to 3DSMAX2015 and vray_adv_24004_max2013_x64 to vray_adv_25501_max2015_x64. I always check if there's connection between NODEs and Mapped_Drives.

help, please
