odd behavior with beta10

We are getting some very odd behavior with beta10 in the monitor. Machines show up as if they have been rendering for 2 hours, thier cpu usage is at 0. I remote into the box, and its in fact rnedering something completely different, for only a couple of minutes. The last status update column shows something from an hour and a half ago…

A lot of errors in the deadline log…:

We’ve got the same problem, except that our slaves aren’t rendering something different, they have just stopped rendering.
For example, the slave is rendering a frame that should take around 30 minutes, but it’s been rendering for 2 hours, CPU usage is at 0%, progress is stuck at 43%, and when I remote onto the slave, Max is just sitting there dead.

From 30 slaves that are currently active on the farm, only 10 are actually rendering, all of the others are just sitting there with the CPU at 0%.

Is it possible to roll back to beta 8?
We weren’t having too many problems with that, and at least the renders got done.

Dave

We rolled back to beta9 overnight, but i believe the only file you need to roll back is the lightning dlx plugins in the plugins/3dsmax folder

Just uploaded some updated lightning files here that should fix the problem:
