Arnold not rendering with Udims - houdini 17.5 - render region grey

Arnold seems to have a real issue with rendering in the render scene or in a region once I load a displacement map across UDIMs. The maps should work fine with the %(UDIM(d setup, i'm basically transferring everything from rendering in Mantra to rendering in Arnold due to Mantra's excessive hunger for ram.It's really not the biggest scene in the world. but as soon as I plug in a 4 UDIM displacement Arnold IPR doesn't generate anything. I've set my geometry to only 1 subdivision iteration.

My CPU is a Ryzen Threadripper 2950x - 16 core - which should at least be able to handle a basic setup like this.

You use <udim> in the Filename, like this:

$HIP/colortiles.<udim>.png

That will load colortiles.1001.png, colortiles.1002.png, and so on

You have to use the <udim> tag

Actually - I'd like to add that it's not jdisplacement. It seems to be ANY UDIM textures. I'm working on windows 10 also.
