Title: Distributed not working too good
Post by: Dariusz on 2014-07-22, 19:51:49
Heya

So I got few problems. But lets start from main one and its basically one of nodes dont start to render. Each node is pretty much mirror of one another so they all should work. 4/5 computers work 1, Has issues and dont render. How can I troubleshoot that?

Just getting windows crash "appcrash" error

Ok so I noticed that during installation I was not asked to input license. When I try to render localy from slave it says it needs license. How can I manually input license? Maybe DR crashes because there is no license...

Reinstalling max is a bit of an issue on mirrored system. I'd rather to use it as a last resort.

Have you checked our guide?

If your slaves just don't render anything, there might be something important in drdata/maxlog.txt.

Today i was rendering my test scene (see below) with Corona DR on 3 slaves. I try to render on region part of the scene with DR and after 2 min. i realized that DR could not work in region at least properly. I got Error and non of them working properly. After that i tried to render the scene again in Full aspect and everything was normal. Maybe that is an issue or bug.
