Are you sure this is the scene you are rendering with Corona and distributed rendering? Why are you using V-ray materials, V-ray sun, V-ray lights? This is not correct! Please at least use the scene converter.

I am not able to reproduce it using this scene. Can you at least include any texture that has this problem? I wanted to see how it is loaded...

I can see that multitexture plugin skips the native max's bitmap loading window with gamma settings. Maybe this is the problem. Does it also happen for you when you are not using any v-ray materials and not using multitexture, just a plain max's "bitmap"?

I think there was a similar problem some time ago and this was the solution:
http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max-design/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Resetting-3ds-Max-3ds-Max-Design.html
Could you try this?

Just a random idea - all winows updates installed?

Yes, you need to activate Corona on all computers:

"Installing Corona on renderfarms and computers without 3ds Max GUI" and "Using Corona Licensing server"

Another idea: can you send a simplified version of the scene where this happens in max14 version? (it may be something really simple, just so that the error is there)

Hi,

First please see this article:
https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000568996

If it doesn't help, we will think of other possible solutions.

You can also use Max's native daylight system if you are used to it:

There will be no rendering time/quality difference.

Maybe these guides will help:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772211.aspx

Just keep in mind that this will probably enable anonymous users in LAN to access shared folders (not sure how it works exactly, sorry, this is black magic for me). Maybe it's worth trying and reverting to default values if you consider it unsafe.

No, you do not have to use this software. Just go to User Account Control in Windows and move the slider all the way down. I think so...

I recieved an answer from user CHampi22 who had similar problem:

I used Auslogics Bootspeed -> Tweak Manager tools - System security option to disable the User Accesss Control ,all security option OFF and compelte access for anonymous user in Privacy policy.
This is the only way to access textures,  otherwise TCP 1977 port error in DR server, I don't Know why.

Maybe this will help?

Generally, if you have some goal rendering time you would like to achieve, and you get bad results in it (for some reaseon), you can:
-ignore noise for now and see how many passes produce good edges of geometry and textures (or example if it's 16 passes, or 32, or 64?)
-then use the lowest possible number of passes (let's say 16)
-render 16 passes and see if there are any other problems (noise?)
-if there is noise, this most likely means you need to increase sampling settings, either GI/AA value or LSM
This is just an example. If you don't care so much about rendering time, you can simply set no time/pass limit and just wait for the image to refine.

Maybe this guides will be helpful:

Ok. There is also this:

But I don't understand what he did to fix this. I sent him a message.

Wait, you said that the image is getting darker, now it looks like it's getting brighter. Is this another issue?
To me this looks like missing texture (only diffuse color is showing) or gamma problem.
Can you perform this:
-check "retain EXRs" in DR render settings on master pc and check the files after rendering (hold your mouse on the "retain..." checkbox to see where they will be saved)

Is this 1.0 version? Use UHD cache indstead of HD.
Is your problem too much noise or that it takes too much time? I can't see much noise in this image.
