Error in Renderer

gdijedi7

Greetings!

Since the last major update, my renderer will periodically not want to render an animation. Usually, restarting my computer makes it work, but not always. Right now, I'm trying to render a 20 frame animation of a Roman soldier stabbing with his sword. The renderer (Iray) has crashed after one frame, three frames, then two frames. If the renderer has an error, I have to restart DAZ to get it to work again. Generally, if it keeps happening, the program will crash, and it has made my computer blue screen before. It never seems to happen when rendering a single frame, and rendering a movie file never works, it always has an error some time. 

This never used to happen, so I assume something about the new version doesn't like something I'm doing, but I dont' know what. Most animations work fine, and others are a fight to get anything done. Sometimes it renders a single frame with all dforce simulation undone, and sometimes it renders a frame with a character with a lot of their skin whited out.

Has anyone found out what causes it? Is there anything I can do up front to avoid it?

Thank you
