Daily builds version 3

[snakebox]

should we just wait until the rc6 installer has been fixed? it sounds like something broke for max 2019, I am getting the nvidia optix error too.

No matter how much I uninstall or reinstall, the corona installer refuses to redownload the nvidia optix. and now no matter if I use RC6 of RC5 optix is broken.

also tried to manually download it, and install it using local file, this works but it's still the wrong version, 5.1.0 and not 5.1.2 which corona is looking for.

Bonjour Dionysios,

Do you mean you reinstalled max and corona, or the whole system (windows reinstall) ? I tried reinstalling max, latest updates and Corona already, and I am still getting this issue unfortunately.
I might try uninstalling, cleaning the registry and do a clean install again. Support could not reproduce the issue so it's worth a try.
Merci :)

Bonjour! :)

I reinstall only the latest version of Corona and that's it.

Merci a toi,

Dionysios -

Any updates on the nvidia optix error for max 2019.2 ?  I wouldn't mind being able to use it again :)

Yeah, we found out that there's some incompatibility between our version of OptiX and the one that may be installed by other renderers (like Arnold). We'll be fixing that in another RC (to be released today).
