Hi,
I have just upgraded to Deadline 10.3.0.10 (from 10.1.20.3) and now distributed renders do not work.
I submit the renders from Max2021.3.14, Vray 5 (update 1.2), via the latest Deadline3dsmaxVRayDBRClient.mcr (copied from the 10.3.0.10 repository).
- On the render node that the vray spawner process tries to start but then closes.
- I get no windows firewall pop up on the render node.
- If I leave it for a minute, I see in the system tray, dozens of attempted vray spawners shown. When I hover my mouse over them they all vanish as the OS updates the UI.
- I get the same result if deadline launcher is manually run or run as a service.
Here is the deadline log:
