sorry for the expletives but I am at the end of my F$%^&ing tether on this.
Am running XP pro 64 bit, MAX 2009 64 SP1, Vray 1.5 SP2, Kasperski AV, q6600, 4gb Ram.
Material editor is sooo slow to load, hangs for about 5 mins at a time, between that and autosaves about 1/2 time is wasted. I have restarted the lic and thats a hit and miss, I am using a demo verios on other pc on 32 bit, half the ram, spec and it flies on that pc.
This has been going on for ages now and just about to put my fist through the screen.
Have shyed away from installing 2010 for fear of other issues,
What can I do to resolver this once and for all.
Thanks,
Angry Tom
Is the USB dongle on the local machine or remote? The only time I’ve had issues with the ME, 2008 though, under XP64 was when I was accessing it remotely.
Dongle is in back of XP 64 machine, has been there since I got it.
I did recall soemone else having this issue ad the solution was to shut licence and restart, it still crawls for me, insult to injury is that this pc (when new)+ expensive software cost a tidy sum, will try sp3A tomorrow, meanwhile I gonna break heads and unwind.
Odd. It still seems to be a license issue. Thought number 2.
How do you have your Vray client license settings setup? Only as localhost? I think I’ve put the localhost name and IP address under the alternate license servers.
ok, just upgraded to SP3, still there, ME took a minute to load.
Lic was setup using defaults and on the local machine,
sea2stars: can you explain please, “localhost” goes into the alt. lic server 1? and the pc’s ip address" goes into alt. lic server 2?
Even after I hit render it seems to stall for a minute or two before the LC starts to be calc’d
one thing that could be happening is that it loads in basic vray mats quickly but if there is anything a bit more complex like brushed steel it really struggles to load. Not much comfort it the scene uses heavy mats.
Is there anything in log file that is of any use

yep its running alright > I have restarted the lic
when i installed sp3 I optied for the auto start at windows boot up, task mgr shows vrlservice.exe running.
still the same , trust me it really mucks up your workflow
UNC, but what I did with a recent project was archive it so everything was local, also the issue happens on mats that may have no bitmaps appled just procedurals, to be honest its a F^&%^ing disaster.
cheers Sea2stars,
thats pretty much same as what I now have (“quadcore1” replaces “nibbler” and a different ip.
During the day i uninstalled Kasperski - made no difference,
Chaos people, any ideas???
Have you tried moving the dongle to a different USB port or to a different machine altogether? If yes, and you still have issues, we will need the log from the license server. You can either email me to vlado@chaosgroup.com or to vray@chaosgroup.com and I’ll explain how to do that. If the log is ok, then it may be that the dongle needs replacing.
Hi Vlado,
I moved it to another port yesterday but will try moving it to a different machine tomorrow,
initially I thought it was a network issue but if I create scene on the xp64 macine and use all local maps etc it is still an issue, I work on it tomorow,

Wasnt this a problem with the first release of 1.5? I remember suffering it for a little while and a new version of vray fixed it regardless i’ve always had the dongle on the local machine.
or maybe it was the way you specified the licence server? by name and not ip?
, trust me it really mucks up your workflow
