Deadline -Unreal engine submit job

[juan_francisco_bovio]

When I send a render job using DeadlineCommand, the job is created, but when it comes to executing the render, Unreal Engine just opens and doesn’t render. The console doesn’t return any errors; it just opens the project in UE5.2 and doesn’t start rendering.

I’ve attached the information I use to send the render.

import os
import subprocess
