"Expected a tiled file but the file is not tiled"

[Dave_Wortley]

We’re rendering to EXR format using Tile Rendering on Deadline 6.0

We’re getting the error below, the EXR mode settings was set to Scanline.

I’ve changed the output format mode in the EXR settings to be Tiled instead of Scanline and will report back in a bit to see if this fixes it. The main RGB assembles fine, it’s the render elements that don’t stitch, (Could be something in the Rebuild Render Element Option we added)

As far as I was aware it didn’t matter to the Tile Assembler if it was Scanline or Tiles in the EXR setting??

Setting the EXR file to Tiled seems to fix the problem.

Having issues with some of the render elements stitching and some not, with the same message…

Hello Dave,

I wanted to check and see if you have had a chance to try out the Draft tile assembler option that is in the new 6.1? I am going to have to see if any of the devs have thoughts on why this error is coming up.
