I need to try updating my nVidia driver to see if After Effects 2018 will work more reliably. I'm seeing strangeness and apparently the later updates (388.31 and higher) are working fine.

Last time I updated my nVidia drivers to the latest, Octane did NOT like it.

Does anyone here have a ...

Thanks for the reply. I checked and I do have exceptions in place for all of Octane's apps. This is driving me nuts.

So, I'm using the same versions of Octane (both standalone and plugin) as well as same versions of Cinema 4d. I'm trying to setup Octane network rendering, and it works fine if I turn off the Windows Firewall completely. If I turn on Windows firewall, it doesn't. I tried to allow port 48000 (default ...

Now what about the render in the viewport when hitting ctrl+R? Is there a way to fix that as well? Not that I use it much, usually just working in the LV, but can I get that correct as well?

It's a beast of a laptop, and apparently it uses desktop GPUs. I believe they are slightly custom cards or something to fit in their cases, but it's not the mobile versions of cards. I spoke with someone from the company yesterday on the phone and they assured me that the cards are both installed ...
