Vray 3.3 crashing when opening hypershade + settings issue

[velcrolog]

Hi,

The Vray 3.3 release looks promissing, but I cannot open the Hypershade as Maya simply crashes right away. It does this for any scene I open with 3.3 installed. I reverted back to 3.1 which have worked almost flawlessly since its release and everything is back to normal.

Also, any previous scene I open in Maya with Vray 3.3 installed changes the render settings to progressive mode and a few other new settings are changed rather than being preserved from the files previously created...
I would post a sample scene, but it does this for all the files I have tried.

Are these known issues?

Thanks

Old scenes should open without forcing the new defaults, that's strange. A sample scene would help in some way.
About the crash - do you get any erros/warning in the maya output and/or script editor (before you open the hypershade)? That would help narrow down the cause.
Do you have the material view in the hypershade by default? Can you try disabling swatch rendering and see if that helps (altough it doesn't sound like it) from window > rendering editors > v-ray > swatch rendering.
What is the specific Maya version? Any SP installed and/or extensions?

Also what OS are you using?

Thanks for the reply guys.

There was no error. Only a quick crash and no file saved in the temp folder.
I will see if I can share a scene later today.
I will also try to turn of the material preview in hypershade and see what happens.

My system is running Windows 10 with Maya 2016 Extension 1 SP5, Intel i7 8core CPU, Nvidia Quadro k6000 and a Titan X, 64GB ram.
As mentioned, everything is running very smooth with Vray 3.1, including distributed rendering, embree...

Does the crash happens on every scene or a particular one/ones?
Does it occur with completely new scene?

Hi, I did a fresh install of 3.3 on my workstation and render nodes and the issues are not arising anymore. No sure what was causing the problems as I tried with and without DR and Embree on multiple scenes and they all shared the same problems.

Thanks for your help, so far 3.3 seems like a solid release!
