Maya 2016.5 with Vray 3.4 and Deadline problem

[Steve Davy]

This is a long shot but just in case anyone happens to be using Maya 2016.5 with Vray 3.4 and Deadline 8.017.

We recently upgraded to Maya 2016.5 and our previously working farm is now experiencing a lot of failed frames that we can't trace the cause of. We have other software running successfully on the farm (Nuke, C4D among others), so it seems to be a Maya and/or Vray problem.

Anyone have similar issues or is aware of any known problems?

[Keith Rogers]

Are you trying to use legacy render layers?

[Keith Rogers]

We had an issue with the same Maya and VRay version but with deadline 7 where deadline would not be able to find the correct environment variables and crash.  What's your error message on the failed frames?
