V-ray 7 GPU often crashes

[Sacifair]

Either it’s related to TyFlow terrain, on which I scatter things, or the latest V-Ray, or the LATEST release of ForestPack bugs—whatever it is, please address it.
I have attached a screenshot regarding this issue.

V-Ray itself is stable in my opinion, but its connection with ForestPack makes it unworkable.

Also, there are several bugs found during work (attached some videos through DropBox links)

Hi,

I can't.

It's just that a window shows up suggesting either saving a copy of the current scene or not (if you actually look at the screenshot). No "3dsmax_minidump.dmp" file is present.

I suggest you try to replicate some of the bugs for now. For instance, with an active Forest Pack layer, just start a V-Ray GPU interactive render, and the Forest Pack display will start to appear and disappear (Display > Point Clouds active).

Also, with an active Forest Pack layer (Display > Point Clouds active) and V-Ray VFB interactive rendering, try going under Editable Poly > Polygon of any object in the scene, and you'll see another bug.

Please look at the attached video.

C'mon guys, I can't point out every bug you have. Try to replicate them from the videos I attached earlier. It’s not that hard.

Hi,

We've just released the Forest Pack 9.1.6, which includes a fix for the flickering issue with point clouds when rendering with V-Ray GPU IPR or Vantage. We encourage you to give it a try and let us know your feedback. For the crash issue, as mentioned earlier, we’ll need the minidump file to investigate further. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the quick fix! It works fine so far.
