8.1.5.5 Monitor submissions error: No module named nim_core.nim_api

[Dave]

I’m just trying deadline 8.1 for the first time, however none of the monitor submission windows are working. Here are the exceptions from the console:

Hey Dave,

I believe that this is a bug that was just discovered when creating the pythonAPIs folder on the local machine. This should be fixed in the next build. For now you can also create the folder %localAppdata%\Thinkbox\Deadline8\pythonAPIs and then restart the monitor. This will cause the python api’s to be synced to your machine.

That’s fixed it, thanks
