It's still crashing on 27.11 when starting the render after importing shader using rgb or gray image nodes from the assets browser.
Shaders using the old imagetex works as expected.

I made a very long post explaining in details all of the test i made trying to pinpoint the issue, and my conclusion ...

UPDATE:

It's still crashing with the 27.10.

Another user had a crash too when he tried with the latest rgb and gray image node, so did a new test on my side with the old imagetex and it looks like it's working.

I wondered why some shader loaded fine and some other crashed, all the working ones ...

There is an option in the octane parameter drop-down to clear all cache, geometry and shader but I don’t know if ...

Still happenning in 27.8, and now if you activate Adapt to camera View Resolution the view change a little, for exemple my 50mm camera with this option render like a 40mm.
