In case someone is doing ancient pyramid photos with accurate sun/sky positions

Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here, it drives me nuts.
I'm trying to do a sun study for a project, and I noticed that the sun position changes horizontally when I change the date.
I mean, at exactly noon the sun should shine from the south. On the first image I set up a stick so the ...

It's working for me too. Thanks Otoy team for the quick fix!

I had a similar problem today on a slave, which was a new build and I forgot to turn off the sleep mode in Windows. Any chance that it's a new Windows with those settings on? Maybe a Windows update turned them back on?
Also, you indicated that your slave has only 16Gb RAM. How big is your scene? It ...

Here you go. I have two files, because it seems to me the c4doctanelog.txt resets when I reopen C4D, so I'm not sure if all the logs are generated correctly.
I made this second log file by pressing the generate log report when the picture viewer is stuck at the ...
