Upgraded from version 4.21 to 4.23 and now Iray rendering doesn't work.

Hello All,

I am in need of assistance.   As the title stated I upgraded from version 4.21 to 4.23 and now Iray rendering doesn't work.

I have an i7 4ghz machine with a 6700k cpu.  It has 16 gig of ram on board.  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

I have an Nvideo GTX-1080ti graphics card running driver version 30.0.14.7411.   I believe this is the latest supported driver for Windows 7.  At least that is what the Nvidia site tells me.

Okay, so the problem is that when I click on "Render" I just get a white screen with the proverbial spinning hourglass and then it hangs and I have to manually get out of it.   In the viewport, for test renders, the process seems to start, but gets stuck in the "smooth shaded mode" and never starts the Iray rendering process. I CAN exit out of this though.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Geo

REQUIRES:

• NVIDIA Driver 537.13 (R535) on Windows
  • NOTE: This is a lower minimum requirement than the 4.22.1.41 build

 

So I'm pretty sure it's the 474 version driver causing the problem.

I looked it up on N-Vidia and it seems the 474 driver is the last one for Windows 7 64-bit.  Soooo, what happens now?

All we can suggest is opening a tech support tikcet to request an installer for the older version of DS, or of course moving to a supported version of Windows.

Thats a big bummer, but if reverting back is all I can do, then so be it.  I don't particularly care for the gui interface that Win 10 or 11 uses.

Thanks,
