Hi! I have been trying to set up crowd render for some time but everytime I try to connect to the node it fails. It is on a local network and I even tried tunneling it thru hamachi. When I try to connect there is output in both local and node System Console so they are contacting. The local just says connecting then fails and node says error instantly. Both local and node have blender 2.91.2 and crowd render 0.2.8

Hi Craty :)
OK, this looks like a known issue, Blender made changes to their internal APIs for cycles which we use to get rendering done with the cycles engine. As a result, those changes broke our addon and so we had to release V0.2.9 to fix it. More breakage happened in Blender 2.92 as well, so we issued V0.2.10 and yet more in 2.93.
So currently public builds support up to 2.90, with the latest early access build, V0.3.0 supporting up to 2.92. We're working on another release for supporting 2.93.
So your options are either downgrade blender to 2.90, wait until our dev fund reaches USD1450 a month, when we'll unlock the next early access build (means public builds will be two versions behind the latest) or support our development fund and get access to V0.3.0, which is the latest release right now and supports up to Blender 2.92
Hope this helps :)
