Hi,

Deadlines website (probably not up-to-date) does not state that they support Corona 11.
I would advise contacting their support and asking if Corona 11, alongside with its DR is supported.

Was this happening also for Corona 10 + Deadline?
Where you able to run the DRServer.exe without GUI using the same switch with older versions of Corona, locally - "--noGui"?

Hi, thank you for reply

1. Corona 10 + Deadline works fine! We downgraded back to Corona 10.
2. DRServer.exe from Corona 11 couldn't start with --noGui switch in command line
3. DRServer.exe from Corona 10 successfully starts with --noGui switch in command line:

Hi again,

Yes, the issue is reproduced and confirmed, and also reported.
Stick to V10 if possible until this is fixed.
In case of updates, we will surely inform you here.
