Same error on each slave, but Houdini and Maya works fine.

Check for the following:

  1. That your max install is up to date (the initial release didn’t work with Deadline).
  2. That your backburner install is up to date.

You can get max 2013 updates here:
usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps … 2#section2

If you still get errors after updating, post them and we’ll have a look.

Thanks!

  • Ryan

Updating to last version of bacburner solved this trouble. Thank you!
