Normals AOV and Sampler Info Normal Vector issue

[cgdom]

I have an issue with our farm rendering frames with "_broken_" prefixes when either of the Normals or Sampler info (set to Normal Vector) AOV's are included. This does not happen when either of the two are off. Has anyone run into this ?

I basically can't give a relight buffer to my compositors given this issue right now. I'm on maya 2020 running v-ray 5.00.22 (v-ray 5 hotfix 2). The render controller I'm using is Royal Render and I have also mentioned this issue to them but as with all software problems where a combination of two vendors is involved, things get complicated.

Any ideas ?

What do you mean by "broken" prefixes? Do share some examples. Also, does it happen locally? And have you tried sending the job through another render manager?
