Distributed Rendering doesnt work. Wrong version error.

[Markus]

Hello
I just upgraded my workstation and my slaves to vray 4.20.1 and now distributed rendering doesnt work anymore. I get an error message that the slaves have a different version than my workstation. However, if you look at the screenshot, that is not the case.
Does anyone have an idea what this could cause?
Cheers Markus

Hello,

Can you share the V-Ray log from both machines (the workstation and the problem slave) ?

Best regards,

I assume that the logs you posted in here:
https://forums.chaosgroup.com/forum/...09#post1042709
are actually about this topic.

Both logs from DR machines seem unfinished and from earlier time than the logs from the workstation machine. Can you restart the spawner on one of those machines, try rendering again and get new logs? Also - can you get the vrayspawner log file - it's called VRSpawner.log and should also be located in your temp folder.

Yeah, sorry for that.
I found the issue. After reading through the new generated Log file I saw, it was starting max 2018 with vray 3.6, even if it was saying vray 4.2 in the dialog on my workstation. I found out, that the vrayNext installer didnt created a shortcut for the vrayspawner and I was accidently starting the one from max2018 instead of 2019 (where I installed VrayNext). After creating a new shortcut for the vrayspawner in the max2019 folder and starting this one, all works fine now!
thanks for your quick response!
