Hair and Fur error on dual xeons

[MichalM]

Hi,
when I create hair and fur on ANY surface, the renderer aborts. I tried to look for a solution in forum but I didnt find it.
I have dual xeons. I know some people with dual xeons too, and it works fine for them..
Please help

What specific CPU model are you using?
Can you try if the same thing happens in the newest daily build? https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000570015

I use double E5-2696 v3
No i didnt try it with it. I can't download the whole zipp file for some reason.

There is a known bug, caused by H&F modifier not resolving paths with non-ascii characters correctly. Do you have any accented characters in your user name (windows account name) by any chance?

I have a polish letter in my windows account name, Ł

Yep, that's the culprit. We can fix this bug, but before the fix is released, the only way to prevent crashes with hair&fur is to log on to account with ascii-only name. Sorry about that :(

I changed my account name to michal, restarted the pc and the problem remains the same..:/

What is the name of your home folder (in C:\Users\)?
I don't think it is renamed when you rename your account.

It remained as original, I will try to change it and will let you know if it helped mate.
