textures search path not working on a specific drive "R:" when using tx

Hello,


I've got a weird issue with texture search path.
I have a texture with the following file path: R:/textures/example.jpg
If i put R: in the texture search path  it's work (with Absolute Texture Paths off).
When I export the ass, i can see the path is relative.
However if my texture is R:/textures/example.tx, it's not working anymore and the texture is not found.
It's only happening when the drive is "R:". I tried the same manipulation with I:, B:, P: and it's all working well.

P.S: a procedural work fine with procedural search paths R:/, the issue is only for tx files.





The error is the following

 

 

 

 

// Error: ERROR   |  [texturesys] aiImage1: Invalid image file "textures/example.tx": Could not open file: t: Cannot open
Could not open file: t: Cannot open // 

 

 

 

 

 

I also notice, that is my texture path is R:/others/example.tx, then the error change to:

 

 

 

 

Could not open file: o: Cannot open

 

 

 

 

t: becomes o:
It's like the disk becomes the first letter of the first folder.
If I select a third folder the errors change too with the first letter of this third folder.

If i create a virtual disk with subst H: R:/, then it's start working again and the texture is sourced with H:

The issue happen only with tx files.

any ideas ?

Did you get any further with this issue?

 

I'm having trouble with .TX files but only when network rendering, even if they're rendering on the exact same machine that renders them ok?

 

I get this error 

 

ERR: [29652] [16856] Could not read/write file type: \\xxxxxxxxxx\xx\xx\3D Library ASSETS AND TEXTURES\COSMOS LIBRARY\Packages\Materials\Ground\Grass_Dry_Leaves_39-53_200cm_39cad7fe\39cad7fe_Refl_4k_srgb.tx
