Hi,



I’ve just installed Deadline onto the computers here at work and received the error below with the first test render I submitted. We’re using Max v8 Service Pack 3 and Brazil to render and both are official versions. I’m not quite sure what the error is asking me to change!



Thanks for your help

Hi Jon,



It sounds like there may be some corrupted data in the 3dsmax8.dlinit file, which can be found in \your\repository\plugins\3dsmax8. If you post the file or email it to me, I can take a look at it.



Thanks!
