Hey guys, we are getting OS Error 10054 while trying to render with DR. The clients never receive the scene, which is quite large with around 7gb. [OS_Error]

Turns out the issue is already fixed in the internal builds. We’ll try to patch the next stable build.

The bottom line says it started receiving the scene; before that, it wasn’t able to connect (a generic issue when not making a proper connection). I think you just need to wait it out.

Sorry, no. This is after waiting one hour. Scene gets transferred, 3dsMax crashes for the client, it starts all over. Same scene as sent before. [OS_Error_01] [OS_Error_01]

Yeah, I reproduced it, too. It looks like a memory issue. How much RAM do the machines that hang have?

128GB. Turning off displacement does help, it seems.

I’m not sure if it’s that anymore. I feel like there’s DR hits a timeout or something while transferring the file. If I delete stuff to make the scene smaller (2GB), it starts rendering without issue. Need to ask the devs about this.

Yeah, all the scenes which are rendering fine are smaller. Sadly scene files like this are common these days.

Try installing V-Ray DR1, as it appears to be more stable than DR2. I experienced a similar issue with distributed rendering, but after switching back to DR1, everything worked smoothly. I recommend giving DR1 a try to see if it resolves the issue.

I just tried with DR1 and it indeed works properly. Also, I managed to reproduce the issue in another scene (5gb). Already discussing the matter with the devs. Will reply back with more info.

When is this fix to be expected? Right now most of our jobs can not render via DR since most of our jobs exceed the 2gb limit.

It’s not listed, but it should be in the latest 7.5 release and in the latest 7.4 stable.
