I have V5i with 2 pcs, one wireless. Sometimes (often) the rendering of a frame will be complete and the node will move to the next frame. But hypervue wont recognize it as complete. It will go back when it finishes the last frame and re-render those frames all over again, often with both nodes rendering the same frame, totally inefficient.

This also happens with tiles when rendering a single image.

I can't consistently recreate the problem either. Anybody else having the same problem?

Yup - I reinstalled a couple of weeks back due to exactly those issues. The cows still tip over on occasion, but V5I doesn't run in circles anymore, thankfully. I suspect the beta patches..

I too have noticed this but I thought I noticed a pattern. After many hypervue renders it creeps in. Rebooting all the machines fixes it and then it comes back after many hypervue renders again.

Thanks, I'll try rebooting. Why doesnt e-on offer the last stable patch as well as the beta, anyway? Seems silly.

I've noticed a couple other wierd things too. My main machine is a 3ghz 1gb, my wireless is a 1.5ghzM with 256m ram. When network rendering the 1.5ghzM is 80-90% as fast as my 3ghz. I'm wondering if my PC is underperforming or what...

I've had V5i only a few days and am amazed at what it can do. Couple crashes here or there, but I had a scene with a 30 billion poly ecosystem and it ran just fine!
