Houdini Mantra: Doesn't update frames per task

Hello, lately when using Houdini (18.5.408) and Deadline (10.1), when I submit a scene (in my case using Takes), the first frame of a task gets rendered for the duration of the task.

Example
Task 0 (Frames 1-200): All the frames are numbered correctly, but the image output is just Frame 1. So basically 200 renders of Frame 1.
Task 0 (Frames 201-400): All frames look like frame 201…
etc…

Any ideas what this could be?

There’s a File Cache node, and it’s definitely reading the correct field to render.
I’m not using IFD’s, just using our existing Engine + Render licenses.

So this keeps happening, even with new scenes.

For it to work I have to use 1 frame per task, which isn’t efficient at all.

Does anyone have a clue, or an idea as to what this could be?

Which Deadline release are you on and which renderer are you using? I had a similar problem with 3ds Max where there was a code issue that caused the same thing. Have you put a ticket in with support@ ?
