Are you using a persistent cache file ? That is an IO error like if there was an error writing/reading the file.

Yes i was using one but when the Problem happen i decide to compute a new one in another folder. So i just change the original folder emplacement and check compute and save . And it happen again so i decide to uncheck compute/save and it work again.

As it work i decide to check compute/save again and then ___________ ios_base::failbit ******** error happen again.

It sounds like you get an error overwriting/deleting the old file. Try to delete the file by hand. Do you get an error ?

Are you suing some special character in the file name ?

Isn't this permission issue? Try runing blender as administrator or if you already are, then as non administrator...

if you're talking about .pgi file name no ( i never worried about giving it a special name as this was automatic and work very well before). the Blend file name is Simply MAKEY.

Same as before :|

Can you try saving the file to another harddrive?
Do you have enough free disk space?

Finally find something to kill this problem.

I just compute a cache frome another project and copy/rename it for my problematic project. and then check compute/save to overwrite the fake cache. It work now ;)

But i ve to admit that i encounter to much crash on this scene when PGI is enable. And it become worse with PGI+Opencl. Luxcore crash blender without print error.
And sometime luxcore tell me that render can't continue because image blablabla located in appdata/temp folder is mixing : but this is too strange because i don't use this image in my project. And when i create an image with same name in the appdata/temp folder luxcore tell me another one is missing.
Then i decide to copy the blend file (since the beginning all textures are packed in the blend file) on my desktop. Then i relaunch blender with the copied file on the desktop and decide to do first render on cpu no pgi. It work. Then switch to cpu + pgi . It work. Then switch to cpu + compute/save pgi . Then missing images i don't use on my project error start again. And the project start to crash for everything.

So i decide to append all blend mesh into a new fresh blend file. Crash stop until i check pgi or opencl or compute save.


Edit : it seem that my hanging plants particles system is problematic. So go to check why
