Hello, I am running the latest release 5.12.1 and have immediately run into problems. (I run a pvbatch job on ntasks=10 nodes.)

The task: Run in pvbath mode and extract slices of the velocity field (a turbulent mixing layer) at regular time intervals from T=0 to T=20. My slice.py file is:

```python
from paraview.simple import *
paraview.simple._DisableFirstRenderCameraReset()
renderView1 = GetActiveViewOrCreate('RenderView')
Delete(renderView1)
del renderView1
LoadState('/lustre/scratch/nadmalik/sml_2048_R001/state1.pvsm')
renderView1 = GetActiveViewOrCreate('RenderView')
SaveAnimation('/lustre/scratch/nadmalik/sml_2048_R001/U1.jpg')

```

However, I get error messages, see below. But the strange thing is that output is produced in the form of 10 images U1.0000.jpg – U1.0009.jpg – but they are identical! I presume that each must be the last time snapshot at T=20.

Can anyone help out here please. Thanks.

Here are the error messages in my log file:

```shell

PolarGridActor is a recent addition, not yet released, how did you generate the state file ?

In any case, it should work with 5.13.0-RC1 or with the latest nightly.
