  • Render crashes when screens turn off

    Posted by Ernest Rosado on December 12, 2017 at 8:52 pm

    Hi all,

    I’m having an issue where a long render will crash the moment my computer puts my screens into power-save (I have 4 monitors) and the screens shut off.

    I have confirmed this is the issue, as if I manually power off one of my screens during a render it also crashes.

    For the time being I’ve disabled the power features to mitigate the issue, but I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered this and if they know of a fix.

    Never, ever heard of that one? If you haven’t, try disabling GPU acceleration? There has to be a link between a live/powered Monitor and the Render engine within the Vegas that is referenced.

    Wow, this is fascinating! Please keep us informed. I will try and repro.
