A load generator situated in Asia become unusable (until Load generator is restarted).
Load generator log show the following message:

The controler is unable to use this generator again until the LG service is restarted:

How to retrieve automaticaly my load generator in order to run repetitive tests?
Is there any tuning that can be done ?
When you use a load generator located on a completely different location, the time to initialize a test can be longer than usual. In that phase, NeoLoad has to send the whole project information, JS and external files to your Load Generator.
Looking at the controller log files, we can see that error "Freeze detected in EngineInitializer". This error means that NeoLoad took more than 2 minutes (default timeout) to send the project to your load generator.
When you have this error the Load generator process is still running that's why you have to reboot the machine or restart the service.
If you upgrade your NeoLoad to 4.1.3, the initialization timeout is now configured to 5 minutes. Also the error message is more explicit when the timeout is reached.
If it's still not enough, you should consider to run your controller on another network with more bandwidth available.
You can still follow the procedure below to increase the initialization timeout but only apply it if you think that it is a matter of few minutes more to succeed the initialization phase.
With that configuration, you will set the timeout to 600 seconds.
this is bug in 4.1.2. this issue had solved in 4.1.3
