    — anyone know the answer to this one please ?

    — renders sometimes grind to a halt with error msg ray ‘ tracer failed to lauch’

    – clearing caches etc and re-booting machine gets it going again but sometimes I get this many times on one render so it can be a real pain

    — doesnt deem to be any obvious logic as to what causes it or what solves it – sometimes clearing cache etc works fine for weeks but sometimes for only half an hour or so ?

    —- totally puzzled — AE is cs6 with running with 3xgtx 580

    Chris, what are the rest of your system specs? Mac/PC? What version of CUDA drivers do you have installed? What version of CS6? I think you should be on 11.0.4, which has some important bug-fixes.
