Swarm not using all Agent

Development Rendering

Hi,

I finally managed to get the swarm runing with the help of all the threads here :smiley:

However, I noticed that the swarm is not using all my agents. I have 5 PCs in my network and depending on the project i am opening only 1 is used, sometimes just 3.
All PCs are shown as ā€œavailableā€. It is also the same amount per project every time.

How does Unreal decides how many PCs are used for a project? Does it depends on the size or the amount of Lights creating lightmaps?

Maybe someone can enlight me :smiley:

Thanks a lot,
Markus

I had problems with this because of firewall settings:

You have to set incoming requests for the coordinator pc on port 8009 and sometimes you have to setup the ā€œswarm agentā€ executable as allowed program for incoming requests.

Examples for this can be found in this video:
