black rendered frames

[takehito_iizuka]

Hi, I am using following version: vray_adv_52024_houdini19.5.303_cf37d70_22126.bin

Viewport rendering works fine but when I render via USD render all I get is black frames. I tried to update but subsequent updates are completely bugged, viewport render ignores all the materials and throws following error:

2022/Aug/15|15:39:38] [error] V-Ray creation error: Instantiation error.

I understand it is nightly build but I would really appreciate if you look into this issue, I am very keen to switch from redshift but somewhat lagged development (no stable version for h19.5) prevents me from doing that.
Having said that I don't usually jump on new version of Houdini right away but with solaris being so immature each new Houdini sorts a lot of things out.

I've just tried it and it works fine for me, at least on Windows. What's your OS?
Anything could cause this error, we'll need a hip file to investigate this.
Also, we haven't yet announced 19.5 support, we are still testing it.

What does "subsequent updates" means? Newer nightlies?

[UPDATE]
I see some linkage issues, will fix.

I am sorry I forgot to mention, I am running Fedora 35.
I meant newer nightlies, all after 20220812.
I am happy to post hipfile, is there any way to do is so it is not public ?

No need for it already, tnx. Next nightly should work better.
