Vray does not render

Hi

On my brand new laptop MSI (i7 3610qm, Geforce gtx 660m 2bg gddr5, ram 8gb ddr3) I installed the new vray_adv_150221_rhino5_x64 with the dongle.
When installing vray, the installation complained that Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 is newer than expected one by the installer. That’s why before my second attempt to install vray I removed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64…

I click render and that freezes Rhino.
The scene consists of one box only without material assigned nor other any other settings.

I tried to report the bug- nothing happens when click send bug.

I hope this can be fixed and my new vray and laptop can do some work for me at all

I just sent the bug report.
Problem remains. I re installed Rhino and Vray. When start Rhino after the crash I get the message:

I notice that same happens when dongle is plugged off, there is no difference indeed.

Please help. I need to work on project this weekend.
Thank you

when click render, V-ray progress window appears only. The VFB does not appear. Rhino is not corresponding anymore.
If I open VFB before to start the render and click render- rhino closes and crash report dialog by MC Neel appears.
I have a feeling there is an incapability with my laptop

I plug the dongle in another computer. Same thing happens again
Should it be the dongle activated somehow?

I’m seeing a similar problem but in a very different environment. I’m experiencing intermittent crashing when starting the rendering, just very simple scenes. we have 60 licenses with the dongle on a server - it’s an academic environment and i find that I have trouble reproducing the crash - except when teaching. i’m starting to think that it’s the license server causing problems when everyone pushes render and requests a license at the same time. anyone know if it’s possible to set the license server to keep the render licenses checked out, so as to minimize traffic?

I did not program the “dongle”. now its fine

We have resolved the freezing of Rhino in cases where the dongle is not programmed with a valid V-Ray for Rhino license. This will be available in a future service release.

Best regards,

I guess you have the same problem as I had. It’s a dongle issue.

Go to:

and read “Reprogramming a Dongle” carefuly and follow the steps.
Then it is working perfectly fine

Did it 2 months ago :slight_smile:

thanks anyway

ps. At that time I got confused as my previously purchased dongle did not require any reprogramming
