SubProcVecEnv raises ConnectionResetError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer

[MakisKans]

I'm trying to run the following code and test PPO with Sonic the hedghehog, running it in parralel with SubProcVecEnv Unfortunately I run in the following error:

[fnuabhimanyu]

I was facing similar issues, but I solved it by removing verbose. Try removing verbose =1 , from model = PPO2(CnnPolicy, env, verbose=1).

[HongminWu]

still, struggling in this issues, does anyone help me out?

[cmal]

Same problem. Does this have an answer now?

[bamasa]

Same

[harsh-ux]

Facing the same problem. Is anyone having a solution to this ?

same error...

[Vaillus]

same error

[kvrban]

Same issue. When i try to use SubProcVecEnv on colab

[ZhaoRunyi]

same issue and i know it's related to my customed env bc change to another env the error won't occur

[PostResPerditas]

for the " 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'COMM_WORLD' " error, solve it using 'pip install mpi4py==4.0.1'. Just a lack of dependency module error.
