Hi Beppe,
I finally managed to do it.
So instead of installing it by copy pasting it from folder to folder, I go went through cinema, opened up the folder location in the preferences, pasted the drivers. closed Cinema and there it was upon reboot. Not sure why this worked and all the other ...

I have recently installed the demo for the 2020 plug in for Octane for Cinema 4D R20.
Cinema 4d will not fully start up, once it scans for plug-ins it hangs.
I've installed it in the plug-in folder of Cinema 4d :C:\Program Files\MAXON\Cinema 4D R20\plugins
I've also tried installing it to C:\Users ...

I don't get it.. Im sure that I must have missed something...

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Wondering whether it might be a buggy graphic card or just Octane which is bugging out...

Thanks Beppe!
