Mandelbulber has always given me a "lost connection" box every time I've ever started up any flavor of version 2. I had to stop clicking "ok" and closing that, though, because it now crashes the client if I do so. So, I just leave the message box open and everything works fine.
Same here, except I'm now using a modified version of 2.10 intended to fix a
different networking bug. A side benefit of which is the lost connection problem -
ERROR flashing for a fraction of a second before connection is established - also being fixed, so I don't get the message box unless connection is lost by some other means.
I tended to ignore it and just leave it there too. I don't remember the Client crashing, as a rule, when I did get around to clicking it off tho. It definitely does now, if rendering is underway at the time. I want to see what happens when I close it without rendering in progress and I will test it once a current task is complete. (was estimated at about 8 hours, but is going take at least four times that) I have a vague notion it doesn't crash unless rendering, but we'll see...
I have noticed that clients can now come online when I start them in the middle of a render job, and they will sit there as "ready" until the current frame is over, and then start working at the start of the next frame. I no longer have to stop the render and restart with the added client to get it to start working. That's awesome, as I can start with a few clients and then roll them in one by one and watch the render farm get bigger, the render times get smaller, and never have to start and re-stop the whole job.
That is interesting. I didn't know, but will bear it in mind. Thank you.
