Hello,
Since I upgraded to deadline 6.0 I have been having slaves stall and crash all the time. I am sorry for the broad generality but I can’t seem to attribute it to a specific type of job or situation. They just randomly stall and then end up crashing and when I log onto the machine to look at the slave the dialog box is all white and clearly the slave program is frozen. What’s even more frustrating is that sometimes it says the machine is on a job (and sometimes for hours) but in reality it is totally stalled and not rendering at all and I end up having to go in and manually reset the job.
I do know that this was not happening when I was on deadline 5.2 and I haven’t changed the 3D or comping programs that I use since upgrading.
Anyway, is there something I can do to narrow down this problem and get rid of it so that machines on my farm will consistently render without heavy duty supervision?
Thank you.
