Weird "Can't Render" behavior

jmucchiello

So I got the attached popup "Unable to render. Renderer is in use." 

I look in the log. Nothing.

I set drawstyle to IRAY. The viewport switches to IRAY draw style without issue.

Attempt to Render. Unable to render.

Set the viewport back to Texture Shading. It does so

Attempt to Render. Unable to render.

Check the log. Other than the IRAY viewport render stuff. There's nothing. Hit save a few times to clear the logging buffer.

There is no error in the log at all about the renderer being in use.

I expect I need to restart Daz. But is this normal? I've never seen this before.

Restarting did "fix" it. Inconvenient, though.
