I just finished installing the latest UU. I press the render button and don't see any errors. Do you have any steps beyond that?

Nope, just started happening this morning for some unknown reason
Here is the scene...

[trueBlue]

YafaRay4tS is working for the UU8 Standalone
The Yafaray Folder and Yafaray Scripts are both the same in the UU8
Except the Protect Workspace was removed from the Standalone version

It fails in both for me with different errors.
The problem looks like the material on the cube.

The UU DefaultModelShader node has been altered. The old connector "SpecularColor" has been renamed to "Specular_Color" so yafaray can't see it properly.

error is in MaterialsFnSet

The UU DefaultModelShader has the correct "SpecularColor" attribute
The current 2D Checker & 2D Spots material's DefaultModelShader does not
I'll fix those

I Reset the Default Context, Loaded YafaRay4tS into a new scene with no objects and I am still getting the same YafaRay4tS Alert

[trueBlue]

I deleted the Yaf_render.cmd and the yaf_temp.xml files from:
C:\trueSpace761\tS\Image Folder\
At first, when I tried to delete the yaf_temp.xml file, Win10 said the file was in use, so I had to shut down tS first
It looked like the yaf_temp.xml file was incomplete

All is good with YafaRay4tS now!

Looks like YafaRay4tS needs a script to delete the above two files, as that was the only way to get YafaRay4tS to work again

The UU DefaultModelShader has the correct "SpecularColor" attribute
...

Ah, good. I was worried a bunch of stuff might be broken from name changes.
