Hi
Firstly we have deadline running solid with our render farm and render nodes but as soon as I want to use a workstation deadline throws and error, same error with multiple workstations and max scenes. Scenes render fine locally and from command line. Plane and a teapot throws same error everything works when sent to the farm just workstations with slave enabled that don’t seem to work.
any help would be appreciated
