Hi Guys,
I ran some search in this problem without luck. Question is: Renderer returned non-zero error code, -536870911 ?
I am working with XSI 5.11 and the latest Deadline. Can anybody help me solve this problem?
Csaba
Hi Csaba,
When converted to hex, that error code represents E0000001, but googling this only turned up “unknown exception”…
Can you post the full log for the job task that produced this error? Right-click on the task in the monitor and select Task Reports -> View Log Reports. Just copy the contents of the log into your next post. We’ll take a look and see if anything in the log might indicate what the problem would be.
Thanks!

Hi Ryan!

I am pretty sure something wrong with the configuration… There is one machine working fine, but this one was a simple desktop pc (XSI installed on it). We bought better workstations for work and this one moved to the renderfarm.

Hi Csaba,
I’m seeing this near the top of the first log:
0: STDOUT: 'INFO : 4034 - Loaded scene was created with build number: 5.11.2006.0529 - compatibility version: 511
0: STDOUT: 'WARNING : 3000 - The Sources container is missing the following components:
0: STDOUT: ’
0: STDOUT: ’ - [CLSID{C5170778-5608-44CC-A494-68DF6260EC20}]
0: STDOUT: 'INFO : 4000 - The Sources container is missing the following components:

0: STDOUT: 'Loading the Sources may fail
0: STDOUT: ’
0: STDOUT: ’
0: STDOUT: 'Do you still want to load the Sources?
And then a little later on, I see this:
0: STDOUT: 'ERROR : 2000 - Unable to create object [CLSID{C5170778-5608-44CC-A494-68DF6260EC20}], Cleanup will be performed.
I’m not entirely sure what these messages are referring to, but they would seem to indicate a problem. When you render successfully on that one machine, you should compare that render log to the first log you posted here and see if there are any differences. For example, if the “good” render log doesn’t contain the above messages, that might point you in the right direction. Another thing to check would be if the slaves can access the paths being shown in the log (ie: J:\Pannon_Submarine\XSI_Pannon_Submarine\Pictures\WaterOnGlass_DIFF.psd).
Sorry I can’t be of better help. Deadline is just messenger in this case, and as you mentioned, it might be a configuration issue on the render machine. Hopefully comparing the logs of good and bad renders will help (you could always post a good log here as well and we can take a look).
Cheers,
- Ryan
Ok Ryan,
I will check this right after this project!
Kind Regards,
Csaba
