sometimes it works on my machine then you can´t connect to anything concerning deadline repository…on the other workstation it works the same time…then 2 hours later everything changes …mine works again, another machine maybe connects no more.
It’s good idea to contact Deadline support on this subject.
It could be also network issue, if network is overloaded and Deadline request timeout so it’s not a bad idea to involve IT guy to investigate what’s going on.
the rendering itself is no problem…all machines get jobs render and save.
mostly opening the monitor or submitting jobs out of max (smtd) crashes… sometimes maybe half an hour or 2 hours later it works
