If the scene is only crashing during render from XSIBatch, then you need to start checking for tools/properties that invoke any kind of a graphics call. XSIBatch does not support anything that invokes drawing of graphics or anything that calls such an API to do work. That'll induce a crash.
2015 does fix bugs, but it also has a good number of regressions. Which version is best is specified to your needs, but I think 2014 SP2 is a better bet in the stability department.

I have done meticulous step by step troubleshooting going through each ref model, eliminating ref model and delta issues and it comes down to a particular ref model making the scene crash on the farm. This model renders fine from its master scene, so I am guessing some combination of the content - large displacements and large numbers of ICE scattered standins with high polycount, combined with passes, partitions and overrides make it crash, ie. a problem in the scene. I eventually rebuilt the scene so content and passes are as clean as possible, and this scene crashes too. Incidently if I have done a renderregion and save after that, it will save the scene, but Softimage will hang, requiring me to kill it. I am on 2015 R2 for various reasons - I recall 2015 R2SP2 has a considerable number of bugfixes. Could it perhaps be that R2 has a sort of memoryleak? MB ------ Softimage Mailing List.
