DR - failed to start - DADispatcherService.exe
Opps, sorry it looks like I forgot to toggle the "denoise" this render element".

It is working fine.

but the new bug I found was related to the new DR.

on some nodes it keeps trying to start 3dsmax but a maxscript window with title "post.ms" appears for 2 or 3 seconds then

max closes and tries to start again, infinite loop !

I triple checked that all nodes are identical in configuration and etc ...

any more information I can provide ?

Re: DR - failed to start - DADispatcherService.exe
Does the log say anything interesting?
My guess is that Corona is somehow not installed correctly. I'm working on better error reporting of these cases, so we should know more in the next daily.

Re: DR - failed to start - DADispatcherService.exe
The log usually contains a line saying

"3dsmax failed to start"

I tired to diagnose the reason but no success !

The installation process went smoothly, nothing unusual.

Damn Autodesk !

3 hours of debugging to find out that "DADispatcherService.exe" was behind the problem !

I simply renamed it to "_DADispatcherService.exe" and now max starts normally.

Did this appear after some update? We have received a few reports like this over at our support. This might be the solution, so big thanks for sharing!!

Re: DR - failed to start - DADispatcherService.exe
This "DADispatcherService.exe" is located inside max root.

long time ago and by trial and error, I found that disabling it will make vray distributed rendering more stable.

but there was one slave where I didn't disable it, and it was the node that caused problems with the new corona DR !

I disabled it on that node and now Corona DR works fine !

If the issue has been resolved, I'll close this. Please open a new bug report if you find any other bugs in DR.
