and at this point (sfter 2 updates) it stops sending it to the host.


Also i cant just close the DrServer. I click inside and open logs, but that little closing X does not work.
i have to kill it via task manager or wait like 10 minutes to let it die on it's own.

It happened on both render slaves at the same time in the same way


I can send you those dump exr files if you want.

Router connects to the switch. rendering master is connected directly to the router. render slaves are connected to the switch.
We had 0 problems likt this for a year of using this setup. Now in corona 8 we have this issue.
tested on max 2021 and 2023

I have the same problem.

3ds max 2023, corona 8, win 10, ryzen 5950x

Funny thing is that there are two workstations with ALL the part the same (down to plugged usb devices and monitors) with the same software, everything updated the same way.
One can render just fine, and the other cant send results, or can't connect at all.
Another funny thing is that it is sometimes the first one, sometiems the second one, sometimes both can connect.
Restarting DRServer doesn't help, restarting the slave machine doesn't help, turning off the firewall or antivirus doesn't work.

We did not have this problem with max 2021 + corona 7.

Hell,

I try not to touch the daily builds. We have a very demanding pipeline so we can't use those.

Best,

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Corona Tonemapping error

« on: 2022-05-31, 16:19:03 »

Hi,

I have the same problem that some people already reported- When i open CXR file it sometimes looses all the tonemapping data and i cant load the settings from  a file.
Recently i started to get the same error inside 3ds max 2021. Sometimes it just resets my tonemapping data inside VFB. If this happens i must close and open a new instance of 3ds max. Otherwise i am stuck.
It happens a lot more often if i open an another cxr file in image editor. Fifth or sixth is almost guarantee of tonemapping error.
I have a lot of ram free (20GB+)while those erorrs occurs.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: Chaos Cosmos + Windows 10 = Service won't start

hi,

1. uninstall Chaos Cosmos browser from programs
2. delete the Chaos Cosmos folder from your documents
3. delete "C:\Program Files\Common Files\ChaosGroup\ChaosCosmos"
4. install latest cosmos https://download.chaos.com/downloads/20080/cosmosbrowser-standalone-20220412257279-free
5. In windows start menu go to stop Chaos Cosmos Browser
6. In windows  start Chaos Cosmos browser

Now it works

Ok, i reinstalled corona 8 from local drive. It installed without any error. There is no chaos cosmos service and cosmos says that "there is a problem with chaos cosmos"

Hi,

I typed start cosmos in the start menu, but there was no option of starting a service. This service is not installed on my PC, and it will not (it says that my OS is not supported)
There was an option start cosmos browser, but it says that there is a problem with chaos cosmos. Again because i don't have cosmos browser.

I tried it with the latest cosmos installer, but with no luck.

Hi,

After installing Corona 8 on a win 10 machine i can't start chaos cosmos service (it says it is not compatibile with my OS).
So i have Cosmos installed, but i cant open it.
