List of error codes

V-Ray V-Ray for Maya Issues
1

Hi,
is there a list of error codes available somewhere? Or can someone tell me what these error codes mean?
We get some random crashes in different scenes with different error codes. Most of the time, rerendering the frame solves this so it is kinda hard to track down.

Process exit code: 255
Process exit code: -1073741818
Process exit code: -1073741819

This usually happens when the render is finished. No result is written to disc and the render restarts.

We are rendering vrscenes with Deadline, exported from Maya 2017. VRay 3.60.03.

Cheers, Florian

Hmm, I’m not really sure if those are vray or deadline errors, since they don’t look familiar. In any case, it might be a vray error caught and logged by deadline.
Do you get these (or other errors) when you render the vrscenes with standalone? The errors most probably mean a crash.

Hi,
Additionally, if you can reproduce these errors with standalone, and they prove to be crashes (as they most probably are), it would be really helpful, if you can send a crash dump from the process.
You can create a crash dump for the Standalone process, from the Task Manager (or Process Explorer) by right clicking on the crashed process and selecting the “Create Dump File” option. The dump will be saved in your %TEMP% directory and should have this name: “vray.dmp”.

Cheers,
Deyan

Here is some more info from the log file Deadline saves:

Usually when this happens, the frame is rerendered and most of the time, the error will not show up again.

Is there some way to tell VRay Standalone to always generate the crash dump? I think that once this happens, vray.exe is shut down and restarts so I won’t be able to generate the dump manually.
