Just to follow-up on Sam’s message, 10.1.17.4 3ds max SMTD is sending jobs from both 2020 + 2022 that then fail to render on the Workers, throwing up the same Python-related error messages.
Not ALL 2020/2022 scenes fail to render - simpler ones seem fine - but more complex ones fail. This leads me to think that it might be related to specific plugins used in the scenes, perhaps particular vray or corona things or something like this. As soon as you send the same jobs via the 3ds max CMD submitter they work fine (but the submitter is super limited) so it must be related to the full 3ds max SMTD.
We can’t roll back to 10.1.16.9 since the OP in this thread was on that version and had the same issues, and the only other available version of Deadline for max before this doesn’t support 2022 at all… so we’re stuck having to totally ditch 2022 and roll back to 10.1.13.2 which is frustrating.
We would appreciate some urgent help with this if possible!
