I haven't been able to verify if this "System" process hogging the CPU coincided with my issue with renders "pausing", but it can't have been helping matters. I'll be testing this out over the coming weeks to see if I've finally got a solution. Run 3

In case anyone has the same issue:
I had a situation with Substance Painter where setting OCIO in WIndows Enviroment didn't run the way I wanted to.
Used Advanced Run (free from
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/advanced_run.html) to startup TG with the OCIO env variable
(would be nice to set that in inside TG rather than globally for Windows)

I can wait for Gaea 2.0, v1 was inconsistent at times and it seemed like they backtracked on a few things.
Rather have a version that hits the ground running, even if that means next year

I removed the population that I thought was causing the issue and left the filter set to Narrow Cubic. Everything worked fine for several days and then, bingo, another artifact. But this time I had enabled all of the render passes. I was curious to see which ones any artifacts would appear on. Answer is attached.
The main file (beauty pass) is saved out as a 16-bit tiff. Passes are all 32-bit exr. The artifact is a box with a tiny dot in the center. It appears in the beauty pass and tgRgb passes. It does not appear in the tgSurfRgb pass. Then, strangely, only the tiny dot in the center appears in the tgSurfIndirect, tgSurfIndirectDiff, and tgSurfIndirectDiffRefl passes. All other passes are clean. What this all means is beyond me, but there it is.
I've set the filter to Cubic BSpline (even though I prefer Narrow Cubic) and will use that until another artifact pops up.
Interesting, it's probably the GI/indirect element, not reflection as I suggested. Whether it's a NaN that's not handled well by the filter or something else, at this stage only TG support can help out.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to assist with this matter; I haven't encountered these issues before, and I wouldn't know what might be at fault. My suspicion is that it could be a problem inherent to the renderer, rather than any specific setting. On a brighter note, those trees in the background look quite lovely.

Hangar and ground surface look terrific.
See what happens if you lower the sun closer to the horizon. It should bring out more texture in the asphalt and corrugated iron of the buildings.
Planes could use a little weathering!
