Deadline error: ProgressUpdateTimeout

when we simulate a cross Deadline a fumefx job, deadline stop to simulate if is too long! and a message error appear!
see message error:
Timed out waiting for the next progress update - consider increasing the ProgressUpdateTimeout in the plugin configuration

after increasing the ProgressUpdateTimeout in the plugin configuration by 2, the same error message again.

help!

The ProgressUpdateTimeout is in seconds, so increasing it by 2 isn’t going to help much. :slight_smile:

Normally, renderers report progress back to 3dsmax during rendering, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. The default is 8000 seconds, which works out to be about 2.2 hours. Try setting it to something large like 86400 (which is 24 hours), or however long you expect the simulations to last.
