I guessed that might be the case and I thought I had checked all those, but I will check again.

Thanks,

Success!

I changed the update interval back to 1000 and it said 'waiting for render start'.

I then reset it to 5000 again and it's working as it should.

Thanks Ondra

OK, I've done two things - I've removed the Autodesk Update manager program on the nodes and I've changed the refresh amount to 5000. Seems to be working.

I'll try changing the refresh rate back for next render and see how it goes. Will report back.

Hi Ondra, will give that a try and report back.

Any clues? This is slowing things up for me - I need to restart all the DR servers before I can use them.

I previously put this in the help needed sub and it's still happening. I change the name and it keeps changing back. I know it's not a show-stopper, but I'd be curious to know why this is happening.

We didn't have the problem before 1.6. I can't pin it down to anything else - I've done virus scans with various different AV programs.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Adam

OK, did a bit of experimenting. Our nodes are running both Max 2013 and Max 2015.

If I send a DR render from a master running 2015 when the nodes have just started, it works fine. DR renders from 2013 master generally work OK, but if I send a render from 2015 master after a 2013 DR render has been running, it gives me the waiting for render start and I get nothing. If I then send a render from 2013 it works fine.

Few screenshots for you to look over attached.

Using four render nodes to start (three running windows 10, 1 running windows 7)
The first batch was captured when I sent a render from a 2015 machine.
No.2 render from a 2013 machine
I then turned on another DR node
No.3 render from a 2015 machine
last render from a 2013 machine


Give me a shout if you need any logs etc.

I'll check it out and take a screenshot.

Is anyone else getting this behaviour/message? The nodes just sit there waiting unresponsively after a render has finished.

If you restart Max and the DR server it works.

I'm still getting the message but it's not constant. I don't think it's a material thing here.

It's changed back. The DR dialog box name says happy-digital.com and the DR config text file is blank. Any clues?

I looked up the website and it's a VRay grass plugin. It's not something we've ever used here that I know of.

It's really odd. It was called that on Wednesday. I changed it back (using the DR server dialog box) to the computer name and it seemed fine (appeared properly in the DR list).

Using DR on Thursday it had changed back to happy-digital so I changed the name in the dialog and also in the config text file.

Seems OK so far today, but it's a bit random as to why it was called that to start with.

If it reverts I will report back here.

Any idea about this?

All the render nodes have 1.6, but we are using two different versions of Max on each node as we have some copies of 2013 that we are using here (screw maintenance!)

Is it anything to do with the light stripes I am getting on my images?

Image attached.

We've been having the same problem recently. If we get it again, I will try and send logs/scene.

One of our nodes has renamed itself as www.happy-digital.com.

It's not called that under any system settings and I've already changed it once on the DR server dialog box and it's changed back.

I've not put this under bugs as I think we might have a virus, but I've done a scan and nothing has come up.

Any ideas?
