Overriding language code

Deadline

Hey !

Due to a paranormal phenomenon i can’t explain yet, Deadline is forcing my 3dsmax jobs rendering into bad language witch is giving back errors.

10h12 : rendering as ENU a job : OK

10h20, next frame : override language : error

I’ve tried to force back to ENU that registry key : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\3dsMax\17.0
But after a while, this key is forced back to another language (mostly FRA, but some times SCH or KOR or GER…)

Is there any options i missed to force a specified language ?
I tried in configure plugins to force C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2015\3dsmax.exe /Language=ENU

Can you give me the registry key that is read for 3dsmax language code ?

Thanks!

I think you’ll have better luck overriding the language from within the SMTD:

Yep that a possibility, but that’s not error proof because this is user controled.
And we already have 1k jobs send into repository.

BTW, looks like forcing /Language=ENU into plugins options is a good way to resolve this.
Now i need to understand who did that change …
