Max 2019 freaks out during rendering

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

Hi

We have big Problems with rendering with Vray under 3dsmax 2019. Max starts blinking, windows disappear, reappear, the progamwindow and VFB turn temporarily white. I can not stop the rendering anymore. Even if the buckets dont move and it looks like a crash or halt, the rendering is still going on in the back and max will come back after rendering, but not be able to cancel a rendering anymore is not an option.
It looks like this: https://vimeo.com/298171716

I tried to lower the priority of Max in the task manager and even exclude one CPU core from the Process. Didn’t help.

This is what I use:
Windows 10 1803 build: 17134.345
3dsMax 2019.1. 64bit
Vray 3.60.04

CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 2.20 GHz
RAM: 64 GB
GPU Geforce GTX 1070

Any Ideas?

thanks in advance
Michael

Actually “low priority thread” under settings helped, to get rid of the blinking windows. But for my colleague, it didn’t.

I’ve had exactly the same problem. I think it was back when I was testing Max 2019. I decided to go back to 2018 for numerous reasons and I don’t seem to get this problem anymore.

We’ve had similar issues, well I say ‘we’, my colleague does.

He gets the exact same behavior, I don’t. Same workstations, same files too.
