(Resolved) VFB Crash houdini when trying to save image

V-Ray V-Ray for Houdini Issues
1

Hi,
When saving images from the VFB using save button it crashes Houdini. So the “save as” window open then freeze for a second and close Houdini.
Is there a list of tested GPU driver ? or any other advice to solve this?

Thanks

Dear @creac , hello.

This shouldn’t be GPU related, but since you are asking, at V-Ray GPU | GPU rendering by Chaos the recommended GPU driver version is always updated and now is 512.59.
If this is happening in every scene (even in newly created ones), it could be an installation issue.
If it is happening in this scene only - we have to check it and try to reproduce it.

But in both cases we will recommend updating to latest nightlies as a final test.

Best regards,

Hi @tsvetomira.girginova , noted. Thanks. I will install the most recent nightlies “vray_adv_52020_houdini19.0.622_3a92d76_22080” and see if it still happens. For now it happens even in a new scene.

Best,

Hi,

You mentioned 19.0.561 in your first post, now a build for 19.0.622.
Please be sure that the V-Ray build is for the exact Houdini version, as recommended.
This is very important to ensure proper work.

Check again and contact us back.
Waiting.

Hi @tsvetomira.girginova ,
I just updated Houdini and Vray to the most recent version and still have the same issue. VFB closes Houdini when trying to save rendered image. It happens with any scene.

Hi, @creac .

To share with the community - the issue was solved by performing Cumulative Updates for Windows 11, version 22H2.
So, it was connected to OS.

Thank you all for the collaboration.
