Deadline fails max 2022 submission of a heavy 3dsmax file to be rendered with V-Ray 6

Hi,

I’ve recently upgraded to deadline’s latest and greatest on our little studio to be able to use max 2022 on the pipeline.

I am getting these error messages:

Deadline Error output - Pasting image due to clear color coding.

and I also checked if I would have python 2.7 and 3.8 installed (both)

and crossed the references in the error message to the 3dsmax.py file code lines.

Deadline works fine in light files (spinning cube rendering with V-Ray 6) but it is crashing left and right with the current scene - even though the scene renders fine individually in each machine.

Can anyone help me diagnose the issue?
Thanks again for your feedback, appreciated! :slight_smile:
