finally launched my first v4 full resolution render (5000X2000) with denoiser. after pressing "stop" maxwell started to write MXI files but then crashed with no message other than "end process" msg! cannot find a denoised image in the path I've specified, can't read the mxi m why ...?! (already contacted support but I'm guessing ppl here had similar issues maybe?)

I think this might be a current issue, from the denoiser manual page:
When launching a network render in single mode with Denoiser, if the job is stopped before it has started the second pass, the job will become irresponsive (internally, it will try to start the second pass instead of stopping, and the interface will fall into an unknown state).
It looks like this might be happening also when doing non network renders - if you stop a render set with the denoiser on, before the second pass starts, *strange* things happen. Would it be possible for you to repeat this, and see if it crashes again?

well unlesss I try to render at low-res maxwell crashes. again and again. for me it's kind of pointless now, installed v4 over v3 just to see i can't use the denoiser as it constantly failing. if anyone knows a solution-please help. i've contacted support but still no cure.
