Hello,
I’ll be the first to admit I’m not the best at this stuff (I’m surprised I was able to set it up), but I’ve had Deadline 10.1 running as my render manager since October 2023 with very few issues. I’m also running 3ds max 2022 and vray 5.
I am currently running my workstation and two render nodes. Everything has been running seamlessly until the other day when my workstation would start pulling a 3ds max connection error.
The jobs will still render fine on my other two PC’s.
I’m wondering if a recent windows update has something to do with it as it updated the morning before the issues started.
Below is some of the job report. The full is attached.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
