Thanks for the pointer; I thought we always set the exit code on error for batch mode, but I’ll check again. Best regards, Vlado ---

They only way to fix this is going to a previous version of the scene or create a fresh one a re-import things. I know you have been asked this 1000 times but when an big update is coming for Vray2 Maya ? Thanks, Alex. ---

Me ,again I hope this is heplful these are the main 3 areas that we got lots for problems: 1- Fatal errors like the one posted. 2- Vray RT CPU , we don use GPU crashes constantly on any production scene, its almost impossible to work with it at all which is a huge disadvantage, 3 - Vray FBV disappears again randomly. This is a result of using Vrat v2.004 with latest Maya 2012 on several brand new Win7 24cores 24GB machines with Quadro 4000. Thanks, Alex. ---

Can you check this again with the latest nightly builds? If you don’t have access to the nightlies, you can email us to [vraymaya@chaosgroup.com](mailto:vraymaya@chaosgroup.com) It would also be very helpful if you can get us a crashing scene. Best regards, Vlado
