IndexOutOfRangeException

Deadline
1

Hi All,

One of my slaves has been acting up; giving the following error log:
I’m rendering a Mayabatch job, which on the other slaves does not give an error.
Any ideas where I can start troubleshooting? Rebooting does not help.
This does not look like a Maya specific error.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

This is a known issue, and we believe that it is a threading problem in the slave application. We believe we have addressed this issue in the Deadline 4.0 beta, which is scheduled for release around the end of November.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the info. Is there something we can do in the meantime?
Will re-installing do anything? Setting the slave process to 1 core?
Any known or unknown workarounds?

Cheers!

Dennis

Are you rendering with concurrent tasks set to anything greater than 1? If so, keeping the setting at 1 might help. If you’re interested in joining the 4.0 beta to ensure that this problem has been resolved, see this:

Thanks Ryan, that did the trick (setting conc. tasks to 1). I’ll try to make some time for participating in the beta. Thanks!
