Lately been getting pretty random crashes or hangs/freezes while working with Maxwell Render.
Most usual cases are:
a) while rendering and adapting Camera settings, often when using devignetting
b) when closing MR

Anyone knows what is going on?

Do you experience same thing in another hardware?

[burnin]

Wouldn't know, can't test since i have no other at hand.

Some more info:
Test scene - Materials Preview Scene Ver2.0 / SimBall 2.0
Works well in Studio with Fire on... i only experience problems in Render.

Lenovo D20, Win7 x64 pro
CPU 2x Intel Xeon X5650, 16 GB RAM
GPU Quadro 600 1GB

Can send .dmp file...

Repetitive when Devigneting.

I get the same message very often when the mxi files are merged seem to be a problem of the merging process.

@CarstenT:

Which version of Maxwell ? Latest 3.2.1.3 has bugged network rendering.

[burnin]

Latest 3.2.1.4 still freezes (becomes unresponsive) when checking Devigneting (tested on Moet_Chandon scene)

Do you have Fast Multilight Preview turned on ? (Maxwell Render Preferences - General - Fast Multilight Preview)

If yes, turn it off, close Maxwell, open your scene and adjust Devignetting again. Let us know if Maxwell will crash.

That did it.
Will check other scenes also.
Thanks

I'm glad that it worked :)

Could you write which GPU you used ? (GPU model, vendor, VRAM capacity)
