Thanks for this update, its a much better and faster release.
I also noticed that this version uses a lot less ram, our scene was using 18+ gb, now 9, what has changed?

We often get this error, even with 1.9.9 release, this happens when you select vray scatter and try to open attribute editor.

AEVRayScatterTemplate.mel line 401: Value is out of range: 11 //

When changing number of objects, or their probability, each change the cpu goes to the max and waits for a while before changing, it does not matter if their preview amount is 1000, or 50000, the cpu usage . Also there seems to be display issues with objects, where it shows 10000 objects (a lot in the viewport) from previous version, and then I start changing values, the number in the viewport shows very little and I have to set it to as high as 50,000 to show some of them...

it appears that the high cpu usage also occurs after completing a frame...perhaps its related to the way it redraws the display of the scatter? Since I have about 20 scatters in my scene maybe it takes that long?

First post and installer updated.

If I reference a scene that has vray scatter I get this during rendering:

also when I remove reference which has those vray scatters maya crashes with maxing out ram.

You don't need to remove them and also just ignore this messages. Basically the problem is that you add "void__" in the beginning, just leave "VRayScatterPrim" in front (or rename them in a way like VRayScatterPrim__void).

well if I reference a scene a name space is added, but it looks like this - void:VRayScatterPrim, and I can't not have it, this is how maya works internally.

btw now if I open my scene with 1.99 RC2, it maxes out ram right away and crashes...any way to solve the ram spike?

Nevermind, I did not deploy this build properly. The mll file was missing. So in the case of missing files for vray scatter install it crashes maya, can it be solved?
