As soon as i reverted the repo to 10.0.8, it reworked perfectly.

Can you confirm ?

We have now downgraded to 10.0.9.7 and jobs are submitted ok. Strangely enough a few of our slaves which didn’t downgrade automatically is now also rendering on 10.0.10.3. Is this a bug relating to submitting client only?

4

I believe we’ve narrowed it down and fixed it. It’s strictly a submission issue when submitting the scene file on 10.0.10.3.

Back up your current DeadlineRepository10\submission\3dsmax\Main\SubmitMaxToDeadline_Functions.ms and use this one.

Thanks reporting/confirming guys!

We’ve released a hotfix, 10.0.10.4, that includes only this change.
