An Access Violation means that when rendering the frame, Max either ran out of memory, or memory became corrupted - in this case we can see memory usage doesn’t go over 11%, so it’s likely the latter.
But since you’re not having issues submitting through the integrated submitter I’d compare the job info and plugin info files created through your process to the ones created by the submitter. As far as the Worker running the job is concerned, you could have hand-written those job and plugin info files as long as the contents are valid.
Maybe there’s a file path getting mangled in the update and Max is unhappy about it?
If that path of investigation goes nowhere, see about going through the 3ds Max troubleshooting guide to see if the issue is this scene when run in the Deadline Worker’s render sandbox.
