DR issues with 3.5

[BVA]

I am getting bad results using DR on the new 3.5 built. Both Bucket render and RT CPU results attached.
Using RT GPU renders fine

Also, using Brute Force as primary engine seems to render fine but using Irradiance Map cause this issues for me.

Sometimes it will render right, but when I press render 2 or 3 times after one another the problem will start.

Even production rendering gets the wrong buckets ?
Are you sure you upgraded every slave to 3.5 ?

YES. I have checked twice yesterday and 3 times this morning.
I even reinstalled ALL of them again this morning just to be 100% sure.

Furthermore, I have tried one slave at a time and still all of them produced this behavior.
I have reverted back to 3.4 and the problem disapeared

I decided to reload 3.5 again and test it more. Still the same problem but I think this might actually be 2 different issues:

1. Bucket render issue:
I get the following error on the slave that render black. This can be with any setting for GI (BF or IM)


2. the RT issue only happens when I use Irradiance Map as Primarry. Whenever I use BF it always works.
There are no errors on the slaves or master (event Log)

It seems to solve the bucket render issue if I run the slave as administrator. (I never did this with any previous version of vray, so something is weird maybe with the installation?)

The RT Issue I cannot resolve. We had a long chat on the skype group and some people tried helping and testing. It seems like I am the only one with this problem.
Any suggestions what I can change would be greatly appreciated!

More info:

Rendering standalone with RT CPU does not produce this error

Hi , just to confirm seeing this as well with Barends file using dr rt (1 master +1 node) as far as I can see changing primary to irradiance map caused it to happen for me.

Yesterday running my slaves as administrator resolved this issue. Today with the latest nightly I cannot DR to work.
This is the error on the slaves console:

This particular DR issue, where black buckets are rendered on the servers in production mode, should be fixed in the nightly build from 2017.03.11 .

Thanks Vladimir.
I did install it on the 11th and to date I can confirm it is working. I haven't had this bug in the last few days.

Vladimir, I loaded the latest nightly (18th March) and have the DR issue again


My PC name is "By"
I used 2 slaves for this region and both rendered different to my machine

This looks like a different issue.
The one that I fixed in the nightly builds would always result in completely black buckets.

This one might be scene specific. Is it reproducible on the same scene ?
Can you send it to me for testing ?

I have worked a lot on this file and changed so many things. The render issue was reproducible at the time but unfortunately I cannot get it now and don't have an older version.
I will let you know if I get it again on another project.

In such cases, please save out a scene for me before making any changes. It can help a lot in debugging these issues.
