Windows 11, running render engines always times out

Open Sulter opened this issue 3 months ago • 2 comments

I keep getting timeout erros when pressing "Test" in the setting or/and running it from the workbench itself. It recognoized the binary and seems to resolve the path, but running it causes timeouts. Running the different renderer engines from console, or even trough python without timeout of 1sec doesn't show any errors.

Example with applessed:

Running the exact same path from console:
