To anybody having this problem a workaround is using a script to render each frame independent. I did not write the script, see credit at bottom.
import bpy
import time
import os
scene = bpy.context.scene #variable that fetches current scene
outputDir = scene.render.filepath #variable that fetches output directory
filext = scene.render.file_extension #file extension suffix
for frame in range(scene.frame_start, scene.frame_end + 1): #note "frame" is just a variable
filepath = os.path.join(outputDir, str(frame).zfill(4)) #variable for file checker
if os.path.isfile(filepath + filext):
print('File exists, skipping to next...')
else:
scene.render.filepath = filepath
scene.frame_set(frame)
bpy.ops.render.render(write_still=True)
time.sleep(3) #wait time in seconds after each frame render, inscreasce if there are dependency/driver related errors
scene.render.filepath = outputDir
print('Finished!')
#RENDERER SCRIPT FOR FIXING BLENDER 2.80 ANIMATION RENDER PROBLEMS
#The name of files will always be frame number (eg. 0000.jpg), Its recommended to separate different takes/versions by folders
#This script will use Output settings that you have defined in Properties tab
#Original script by John October Rage
