Rendering hangs at the end of bulding embree static hair

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

Hello guys,

i have one quite heavy scene and it started hanging when rendergin right after the building embree static hair.
I have 64GB RAM.
The render dialogue shows:
P:43213
V:51335
So its still far from the memory limit and i have the embree set to conserve memory.
Is this a known issue?
I am on max 2017 and Vray 3.4

I am getting quite a beast workstation soon with 256 GB ram and couple of 2690v4s so hopefully if this is a memory problem, it will go away
Anyway a side question...
Never understood the P and V memory values in MAX render dialogue, Why woudl virtual memory kick in when physical is not yet used? I dont even seem my page file grow...

Cheers
Martin

We can't really do much about it without a scene. If you can send some reproducible case to support@chaosgroup.com (and cc me to vlado@chaosgroup.com) it will be helpful.

Best regards,
