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 “available”. 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 “swarm agent” executable as allowed program for incoming requests.

Examples for this can be found in this video:
