Hi to all, we have Render Farm with 20 nodes working properly with Deadline 10.2.1.1, We execute Maya 2025 Redshift renders, Maya 2024 Arnold Renders, Nuke Jobs and commandline jobs.
We install a new node and add to the Render Farm:
- Windows 11 Pro updated to 25H2
- Deadline client 10.2.1.1
- Autodesk Maya 2025.2 and 2024.3 installed
But when we try to use the new job we get the same error:
2025-10-28 10:38:15: 0: Got task!
2025-10-28 10:38:15: 0: Render Thread - Render State transition from = 'ReceivedTask' to = 'Other'
