Spawner keeps crashing after 3DS Max and V-Ray re-install

[denx]

Hi,

I'm running 3DS Max 2015 SP3 with V-Ray Adv 2.50.01 on 5 machines. When I try to render distributed, V-Ray crashes on 1 machine. It says "warning: render host ... is not responding". On this render machine, the V-Ray dummy restarts until I stop the render. The other render hosts work fine with distributed rendering.

Thank you in advance!

Edit: When I start 3DS Max on the failing host and render a V-Ray test scene, everything works fine. It's just the spawner, that keeps crashing.

Problem solved. I deinstalled SP3 on this machine and it works now.

Problem solved. I deinstalled SP3 on this machine and it works now.

There was a bug with this service pack for 3DS Max 2015 and our Distributed rendering. Removing the SP or installing a nightly V-Ray 2.x build will solve the problem.
