Found Inf or NaN global norm. : Tensor had Inf values

While the optimize.py continue running, I observed one exception, but the process continue...

I have also run into this error, but have found no success in debugging it. It is caused by Inf or NaN making it into the model's network, though I am unsure how, as the observation space, action space, and reward space all actively replace nan and abs(inf) with 0. Any ideas?

[archenroot]

hm, need to do more tracing...

Hi,

We just release a guide in the documentation to tackle this type of issue. Feel free to open an issue on stable-baselines repo if you find something wrong coming from the library.

@archenroot has anyone debugged this anymore using VecCheckNan from stable-baselines?
