My project was working fine earlier today, but then I copied and pasted a few groups of objects and the live viewer stopped working. It just stays as a white screen and shows that rendering has completed. I have tried with other projects and it works fine. Only thing I can think of that really changed is that now there are probably about 20-30 area lights. Although I would've thought that would just slow down the rendering, not completely break it. I have a GTX 970 and 16gb of RAM.

If you have 20-30 lights in the scene you should decrease the light power. Probably the scene is just blown out from all the lights. Try rendering without the lights or only 1 to if taht's the prob.

Do you see updating message on top? It means that plugin is waiting the renderer for finishing the update(mostly geometry compilation) process. You may have a lot of triangles and may takes longer to process.

I have removed all lights along with a bunch of objects, and I am still getting the same problem. And yes, it says

"Tri:0 Nodes:544 Updating.. 4"

Well I just restarted after deleting a bunch of textures to lessen the load, and now I am getting an error when I load my scene to the live viewer

Please check render statistics to solve the problem.

I thought it was a VRAM problem, but for used/free/total vram it says 265Mb/2.847Gb/4Gb
