Hi everyone,

When I try to submmit the job directly from 3ds Max 2023 using Corona 11 render I get an error in the log:

How can I fix it?

Thanks

Which version of Deadline are you using? have you tried re-installing the submitter?

[vojce84]

I’m using the latest version 10.3.2.1. I did try to reinstall, and also tried from different machines.

The problem occurs when a worker is a different machine than the one you submit the job from. If the worker is on the same machine it works.

You can see here within the first line of the log there is an error line, where he tries to find ini file that does not exist on the remote worker:

Error: Could not find a part of the path ‘C:\Users\rende\AppData\Local\Temp\lightningplugin_418209778747.ini

Again this happens when only I try to submit a job directly from max using SMTD script.
