Problem slave.

Hi,



I’ve got a slave (Win XP64) that won’t render Max 8 scene files with DeadLine 2.6. Started having the problem after upgrading from 2.5



It keeps reporting ->



“Could not retrieve the version of 3ds max from C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3dsMax8\core.dll”



My other slaves work fine. Including another Win XP64 machine.



Any ideas?

Sorry, correction. I get this on all my slaves, but mostly on that one above.



It has now rendered some frames. So I don’t know whats wrong.

Hi Mathew,



Try this patch. Just unzip the attached file to \your\repository\plugins\3dsmax8. Make sure to backup the files you are overwriting, just to be safe.



Cheers,

Someone had a similar issue with the same error message being displayed, so this patch might fix the problem.
