If i then stop the client watch, and restart with the client, the job goes through fine and renders. I have observed this behaviour on 3 identical machines now.

The curious thing is that I have 3 machines with dual 5090s in too, but they all run fine in clientwatch mode. The output of nvidia-smi shows the same driver version, cuda version etc. 


I will upload a debug log to the upload portal too. 

Thanks for the help.

Hi

 

I compared the background “service mode” and “app mode” log files that you uploaded.


The user preference folder is different as you did not log in with the user “renderfarm” for your test with the rrClient started in app mode.

But based on the Redshift log I assume the issue is not some issue with cache or preference files.

RR uses these paths:

Profile Path C:\Users\royalrender\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D 2026_1ABCDC12_x
Plugin Cache Location: C:\Users\royalrender\AppData\Local\Redshift\

 


Redshift Log:

Detected change in GPU device selection

Creating CUDA contexts

CUDA init ok

Ordinals: { 0 }

Initing NVAPI and querying info...

Done
The Redshift log is the same until the message “Detected change in GPU device selection”.
After that it loads/initialize CUDA.  Which never happens in service mode.

Therefore I assume a driver and not a Redshift issue.


Side-Note: It would be possible to verify if the issue happens in a Redshift or Nvidia function/library.
Once the render freezes, open the Task Manager, tab Details, select Commandline.exe, RMB, create dump
And then load the dump with WinDgb as stated on this page: https://www.royalrender.de/help/CrashLocation.html

If you know it is the driver, you could try one that is a few months old.

Yes, that is strange.


There is one Windows setting that changes how GPUs are used (Forgot the name, but I can find it).
Please open the Task Manager on a working and the broken machine.
Tab Performance, left menu GPU.
You see 4 views which you can change with a dropdown at the top of each graph.
If  “CUDA” is not available on one, but the other machine, then the GPU mode was changed in Windows.


Then you can try to reboot the machine and not log in with any user.
Just to remove some possible causes.
To verify, the render log states if someone is logged in:
++++++++++++ Environment +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

rrClient application is running with user royalrender\royalrender

Artist logged into workstation is XXXXXXXXXXXX


 


The next information is not from my experience, but easy to verify:

* Even minor differences in Windows 11 / 10 builds could affect how services interact with WDDM GPUs.

nvidia-smi may show same driver, but Windows graphics subsystem could be subtly different.

Please run these commands and compare both machines.
winver

systeminfo

 

 

* Both machines have a display attached?

 


* Have you used Remote Desktop to connect to the machine?
If you did, reboot the machine and do not use Remote Desktop until the render was tested.
