Hello,
we are getting strange errors after partitioning over Deadline.
After submitting partitions using the Krakatoa 3dsmax UI and the job is completed,
the slaves used for the job start to throw this error (on later jobs, partitioning or standard rendering):
(Autodesk 3ds max 2019.3; Deadline 10.0.25.2; Krakatoa 2.8.6.0)
Error
Error: 3dsmax startup: Error getting connection from 3dsmax: Monitored managed process “3dsmaxProcess” has exited or been terminated.

Currently we restart the slave, which solves the problem, but it is not a very elegant solution
