Internal networks keep breaking

[cyphyr]

I am finding that some internal networks keep breaking. This is mostly happening on files with heavy population loads (and hence higher memory loads which may be a contributing factor).
I am creating the network individually each time, not copying and pasting. and the nodes are properly connected for small tests.
But on doing a larger render or re-opening a saved file I find that some of the nodes are disconnected.
Suggestions?
This only seems to happen on internal networks which in my case are always on objects in populations.

I see that you didn't rename those nodes. I have the same occasionally, and always because there's a node elsewhere with the same name. Even unused nodes that are inside, say a default shader in a sphere, create breakage when you try to attach an outside default shader. They don't automatically get another name (/extension), afaik.

Hmm I thought shaders in internal groups were protected in some way and you could have the same name repeated.
I will try this and see if it helps.
Thank you

There was a change made some time ago where unique node names were no longer enforced. Nested nodes should, I think, have their "node path" included and thus not have collisions like this, but it does happen sometimes. If you have a .TGD that replicates it, it might be helpful to have. Maybe file a bug report (check to see if there is an existing one first though).

It'll never be replicated. It happens at random it seems just like nodes jumping out of groups. Something to do with reading/writing to nodes. Doing things to quick, or hiccups during loads like the TG file opening lag that uses disk usage beyond filesize/asset size.
