Hello,

Since the new 3.06 I'm experiencing the following issue.
Pressing Abort Continue during a render will often result in LW being stuck.
Sometimes the rendered picture is transfered to the viewer, and then LW is being stuck with Octane displaying ABORTING.
Most of the time when it gets stuck, the viewer will not be displaying the aborted render, but everything just gets stuck with Octane displaying ABORTING.

When you're just doing some tweaking (or in any case actually) it's quite annoying
Only way to end this is to kill layout.exe, modeller.exe and hub.exe.
Killing just layout.exe is not good enough, it will return in a defunct process in the background.

Ill try to see if I can get a log out of it.

Anybody else experiencing this behaviour?

Yes, thanks for reporting these issues. There are problems while aborting the renderings in the current 3.06 build, even in the IPR while closing or resizing the window. I'm investigating this issue to fix it in the next build.

Thanks,

Hey Juanjo, when you look into this, could you also look into possibly being able to abort IPR while it is still loading scene?.. Right now, if you realize you want to abort right after opening IPR, it needs to go through the entire loading process, before aborting. With a huge scene with hundreds of thousands of instances, tons of 4k images, etc, this can take a while. For example, just this morning I opened IPR and realized I didn't turn off my grass instances, which I wanted off while working on texturing of some stuff... being able to truly abort, at any time, and have it close instantly would rock.
