Swarm agent connection issues

Hi All,

we are having some issues with using swarm.

Basically what we are getting is that is distributing on the local machine that is running the lightmass build and it shows this message on the agent of any remote machine continously. It show all the other machines bars completely white (so no jobs on remote machines):

11:32:44: [Connect] Remote agent connection object obtained: STC11

11:32:44: [Connect] Remote agent connection failed: STC11

11:32:49: [Connect] Remote agent connection object obtained: STC11

11:32:49: [Connect] Remote agent connection failed: STC11

11:32:54: [Connect] Remote agent connection object obtained: STC11

So it looks like it tries to connect to STC11 but any agent fails to do so, because of that message. We tried disabling firewall, sharing the DotNet folder under Engine/Binaries over the network but that doesnt work. We still get the previous log output.

Our swarm settings:

Doesn anyone have an idea of why this is happening?

Because of this we build in parallel just on the machine that launched the build locally, the other machines in the network gives us fixed white bar (which basically means they are doing nothing).

We already ping the coordinator and the machines and they are all visible and ready. We cleaned and validated the cache… we did every possible test.

On a side note: Why it processes skylight radiosity even if we removed SkyLight from our scene and we use just an ambient cubemap in the post process volume instead? Plus, looks like it takes the most part of the build process building skylight radiosity!.. It’s pretty insane amount of time just for that.

any help would be really appreciated,

thanks in advance
