I have this error for a long time in the machine where I executed the manager.

Does anyone know what is wrong? the render does not even start

thanks in advanced

sounds like a plugin is not found perhaps on that machine

3

I think it should be something else, it is the workstation from which I work and all the plugins are installed.

4

do you have a prerender script in the file?

5

No and I can not find any reference to this error

I have the same(?) error on 1 machine on the network. Adapter returned unexpected code -2. It only started recently, I`m wondering if it`s a Win10 update that`s broken something but then we have another W10 machine that`s ok.. I tried reinstalling backburner but that didn`t work. The usual goto fix is either IPv6 or a firewall issue but doesn`t seem to be that either. Frustrating.

Sure, the firewall does not seem to influence, I tried to turn it off and it does not work either

Any ideas?

I tried deleting the ENU settings folder and also tried reinstalling Vray. Nothing has worked so far, I`ll keep trying. We have 2 other pcs out of commission due to fan failures we could really do with this one working.

How did you solve this problem? I´m having the same problem right now

10

We never worked out what was wrong on our machine but it seemed to fix itself after a while and just started working again. I put it down to a bad windows 10 update but just guessing really, could have been anything since the pc was also used for other work so maybe some conflict with that.

A potential solution: Backburner doesn’t like things that end with a space, so make sure there are not spaces at the end of your output folder, output file name, Batch Render label, etc.
