error: [DR] Failed to receive frame params

[Joelaff]

I have a scene with a Thinkbox Frost object that is fairly high poly (18million). It renders OK when I have Distributed Rendering turned off. However, when I turn on distributed rendering it takes a very long time to see anything in the text window for the standalone GPU renderer. I finally get

error: [DR] Failed to receive frame params

And the render fails. I see this error on the GPU standalone running on the localhost, as well as on the nodes running the GPU standalone.

Any hints as to where to look here?

Thanks.

It sound like the version of the render node and the host are different and incompatible.
If you are running the same version of V-Ray for both the server and the client and you still get this error, could you please send a scene/instructions what you're doing, so we can try to reproduce locally?

Definitely all the same version. They were all installed recently from the same installer on a shared drive at VRay5.

I will try to send some kind of scene. Might be a while though.
