Vray 6 Caustics Issue. Not working in Final render

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues

I cant for the life of me get Caustics to work in Photon Map method with Vray 6. I do all test rendering with WIP mode (progressive) and it looks great and as soon as I go to Photon map method and non Interactive rendering and my final render the caustics become almost non existent. Am I missing some check box or setting for final rendering?
