This clearly means that some of the assets (probably all of them) cannot be accessed by the render nodes. Please check if they are allowed to communicate and if paths to all the assets are configured properly (Shift+T). You can also refer to our general DR guide:

I fixed it.
Solution: copy all proxy files in "//Сorona/DRServer/drData" folder. On slave computer. Then start render. Proglem fixed.
You can add it in the https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000501666 if you want.

This is no "fix", it´s a workaroud (and even a very bad one) for your messed up proxy paths / access rights / network config. How does the failing proxy paths look like?

What may has to be added to the Dr guide is a section about asset paths (and a hint to max asset tracker), unc vs. mapped drives and user rights. There are just a few things to respect.

Good Luck!

Can you post pictures?

Maybe again some assets are missing? (for example light source)

Do you have gamma configured properly on master and nodes?

You can also follow this guide to make sure both OUTPUT and INPUT gammas are set to 2,2 because obviously Autodesk made these settings unavailable in newer versions:

Besides a possible gamma issue (maru already gave you the corresponding links) do the following:

- open a maxscript listener window
- type "ATSOps.CheckNetworkPaths=true" (+Return)
- It should say "true" printed in blue
- Open Maxmenu -> "References" -> "Asset Tracking"

and have a look at your paths. I bet you will find your IES file(s) linked to a local/non accessible path for the slaves. It has to be a network path with access for all slaves. Otherwise you will lose your IES lighting. Same goes with all other assets like bitmaps. Even if you see a "Found" there this may indicate something is not correct. "Ok" is what you like to see there :)

This is a very basic standard procedure when things are going wrong with (any) dr/bb issues.

Good Luck.
