We recently upgraded to Deadline 5.2 and starting adding new servers to our render park.
The old servers just have Deadline upgraded, while the new ones have a clean Windows Server install.
The pulse server is running on the repository machine which is not rendering or serving anything else.
But now the pulse application and slaves is crashing/stalling several times per day. Pulse crashes about once every 30-60 minutes. I left work yesterday with everything running just to come back today to see the pulse having crashed and all 50 slaves being marked as stalled. Does not matter if I run pulse as a service or log in and run the application with gui.
This is the error report from deadline pulse:

I have a support ticket about this as well, but still waiting for an answer and thought I’d check if anyone else have had the problem?
EDIT: Ended up deleting the old repository-folder and re-installing it. It seems to have solved our problems. Everything has been up and running fine for a couple of hours now!
