(It's me, Matthew Fleischman, different machine)
I tried setting the net-timeout to the maximum, they still do it. Apparently,
there is something really special (especially bad, that is…) about our
network setup. Even if the maps are in the farm's map path and set to
read-only, there are still 3 or 4 machines out of 5 that will crap out, unable
to find a certain map (these are all identical machines with identical setups),
and they don't even crap out on the same maps.
When maps are local, everything runs fine, but only at the cost of an extreme
pain in the ass.
This is to say nothing, of course, about the machines timing out on the initial
project file load. Is there such a thing as an IPAS add-on that will
automatically save the net-render project file and mark it as read only?
(yeah, right)
