Reproducable bug: "Error during V-Ray RT initializtion in stage 2!"

[Laserschwert]

I'm getting a reproducable bug with V-Ray RT (2.25.01):

When I use a gradient ramp with a bitmap as the gradient (via right-clicking the gradient and choosing "Load Bitmap...") on a scene material - no matter which type of map slot - V-Ray RT won't run, but give a "Error during V-Ray RT initializtion in stage 2!" instead.

Thanks; I didn't know that one can actually do that Will make a note to support this.

Best regards,

Same here. I get an error message during the install, and it asks if I want to Undo the changes made to the system. I manually uninstalled the previous installation and tried again. When in Max, the regular render works fine, but RT won't run. I get the same stage 2 error message the OP has.

If you use a bitmap as a gradient like Laserschwert, then it will do that yes - we haven't fixed it. If you are not, try a very simple scene first and see what happens.

I guess I should have worded the thread title more precisely... although let's just think of this as the official "Collected stage 2 errors"-thread
