hi everybody!

i recently experienced that c4d freezes/crashes randomly when rendering with octane netrender. this is pretty annoying, when you get up in the morning to see how much of the project was rendered over night and then have to find out that it crashed at frame 28 and would have been further without the new 3000€ pc which you bought for netrender purposes... ;-) anyways...
i found out that my picture viewer shows the Info Text of the Netrender GPUs in different colours. Depending on the scene I'm rendering it's sometimes green, somtimes yellow and in rare cases red. I'm not 100% sure, but i think there is a connection between the possibilty/freqeuntness of a crash and this text color, means: scenes with yellow/red text colour are more likely to crash. projects with green text colour do not crash at all. so, i'm guessing there must be some kind of a bottleneck, which increases the possibility of a crash, which is indicated by this traffic-light?!
so, what is the meaning of these different text colours? and: is there a way to improve the system or the scenes to avoid these crashes?

any help appreciated!

thank you!

ps: i'm using 2.21.1 on both mashines. my mac holds a gtx780, my pc two gtx980s.
