Title: IR freezes while repositioning region area in VFB
Post by: bluebox on 2020-11-23, 21:42:38

Hello,
as per the title, lately having numerous freezes some over minute long while moving an existing or drawing a new region in the VFB.
Scene is not relevant. Happens everywhere. Can you guys check that out ?
Super frustrating. Kills the usability of interactive rendering.

Win7, Max 2016, Corona v7 build 2020-11-13, but happened also in v6.

Not happening here in a quick test, so we'd need more info. When you say "scene is not relevant" do you mean with a simple cube and sky, this still happens? Could be the scenes you have tested have something in them (scatters, plugins, etc.) and just happens to be something you use a lot.

Can you share a video to show what you mean? Can you share one of the scenes where this happens for you (via private uploader)?

Hi Tom,
Could not reproduce this on simple plane+sun+sky scene.
Uploaded a simple scene - 1606230525_IR-freeze-scene.rar - the archive contains a video showing what is happening. The freeze starts in 0:14, unfreezes at ~2:40
support ticket #193810

Thank you!

I didn't manage to reproduce this either. I can see that the support ticket is closed.
If it ever happens again, it would be great if you could capture a minidump during the freeze and send it to us.
