Deadline RenderPluginException - History note error?

Running Vray 2.30 and Max 2011 with Deadline 5.2. I’m getting the following error and can’t come up with a fix. I tried updating the 3dsCmd.py file with the following line: self.AddPopupIgnorer( “.Render history note.” ). Didn’t have any affect though. Any help would be appreciated.

Which version of Deadline 5.2? Version 5.2.49424, which was released a few weeks ago, should address this issue:

Client is 5.2.49424, but the Repository was an earlier version. I re-installed the lastest version of Repository, and everything seems to be working now. Thank you!
