Hello:
I am attempting to include a new machine in our render network but am having difficulties. We are using 3dsmax Design 2015 / Backburner 2015. All other machines are Win 7 and work fine, this one is Win 8.1 and yields the following error:
3dsmax adapter error: Autodesk 3dsMaxDesign 17.0 reported error: An unexpected exception has occurred in the network renderer and it is terminating. 3dsmax adapter error: The pipe has been ended : 109 3dsmax adapter error
The error only occurs when runing the Backburner Server as a service - when running Server.exe it works fine. All permissions/firewall etc. are set up the same as on the other machines. UAC is off.
I have also disabled the docked content explorer and verified that the account the service is running under has all required rights (it does work on other machines).
Any ideas?
Thanks;
Nick Seman
Hello. I believe service pack 2, which was just released, fixed an error similar to yours. Please update your 3ds Max 2015 to service pack 2 on each computer and retest.
Updated all machines to SP2. Win 7 machines are working fine, Win 8.1 machine still not playing nicely.
Thanks for the tip however.
