my thoughts (1st pic):
-there are parts of letters visible at the top of the wall with them, I cannot find any other excuse than laziness for this :P
-the bedsheet thrown on the chair is extremely thick, unless it's something else
-flying carpet
-noise on the floor - maybe it has no thickness? There is something wrong with the lighting under the chair in the left corner, unless there is some light coming from unknown direction

Did you actually create the scene or some of the objects or materials in Corona 1.2 or other older version?

it's twice faster but all those glossies still interact horribly with each other, with that special kind of "super noise" being at some places, most notably at left (is that some sort of GI reflectice caustics ?).

The super noise at the left side of the image is actually direct light entering through the tiny window seen in the center of the image (yeah, now you're thinking with panoramas ;) ). It's a complex lighting situation and even placing a portal in there does not help much. It's a bit like Ondrej's example of what is impossible to render - a nuclear explosion in another room seen through a keyhole.

Here is the video showing one of our render nodes rendering test file locally and through BB on the same node.

Could you see what happens if you rename the file so that it does not contain cirillic characters? Only latin ones.

Also, a minidump taken during the freeze would be great.

I am glad it works now. This is a known issue, but we were not able to reproduce this on our computers yet. Here is what you could do to help us:
-send the minidumps - the more the merrier ;)
-send us the scene with all the textures and assets, and if it's impossible - a sample scene where this happens, it could be something completely new, but the problem has to be there

We would reeeeaaaly appreciate that.

do i need to pay again for the latest version,

It depends on what kind of license you currently own. I couldn't find your license.

The update itself won't "fix the problem" by itself. But it has some improvements, including an error messaging window, which would help you identify some of your scene problems. Here they are:
1. Gamma settings are wrong. Please always use these settings when using Corona:
https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000515647
2. The glowing parts of light fixtures should be using Corona mtl with self illumination instead of CoronaLightmtl, see: https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000515603
3. There are some portals placed incorrectly - they should cap the window holes. Some portal(s?) was also intersecting with the wall. See: https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000501660
4. "mirror001" object - the light is intersecting with the mirror - this should be fixed
5. The most noisy area is caused by environmental light entering through the small window on the other side of the room - you need to reposition the portal in it so that it strictly caps the window, it helps a lot. Another idea would be to slightly decrease the intensity of skylight.
6. Setting sampling to GIvsAA: 16 , LSM: 4 seems to be an optimal solution, although it might require additional tweaking.

I am attaching a comparison of your original scene, and the "fixed" version. Also a 5 minutes render which looks pretty ok, so if you allow one hour or so for the image to bake (on similar system) then it should look fine.

Oh. So which version of Corona are you using?

Anything can happen if you are using refraction on objects with no thickness. ;)

I hope you are using opacity slot now.

Remember to backup your scene if you wish to get back to it for some reason.

My corona version is 1.2.1

Why not 1.3?

( is pt+pt flicker-free in active animation?...)

Could be noisy, but not flicking.

What is the size of the scene? Can you send it via WeTransfer to support@corona-renderer.com ? And/or start a ticket here? https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new

i noticed a huge drop down in the viewport performance, like drop from 100 fps to almost freeze for 0.5 seconds and then go straigth up to 70/80 fps for another second..and then redrop again..This drop down affect also the performance navigating through the menu of the interface...)

Are you using Corona Bitmaps for the textures, or standard Bitmaps? Can you try switching to the other type and see if it changes anything about the viewport slowdown? Do you have a lot of materials with textures nested inside a multi/sub material? For example for the books?
