I’m not all that familiar with how the partitions are submitted to Deadline, but if they are submitted as a single job with concurrent tasks higher than 1 (ie: concurrent tasks equal to the number of partitions), then you can probably enable the “One Cpu Per Task” option under the Options tab in the Deadline submitter. If I’m not mistaken, the Krakatoa submitter pulls settings from regular Deadline submitter.
I’ll let Bobo confirm whether or not this will actually help. 
I think this is a 3dsmax and/or Windows issue, but we added that “One Cpu Per Task” option because another client was running into a similar problem.
