As I already wrote, I got version 3.05.3 installed.
I´ll try the new test version and let you know if it helps.

But if you seacrh in the forum there are a few other threads about the exact same bug.

It´s exactly how Noctivagant described the problem.
Some simple Materials work but especially with textured and mixed materials C4D crashes.

Removing the cache didnt solve the problem.

Hey there,

I have the same Problem, every time I try to download a Material from Live db, the library and C4D freezes/crashes.

Win 10, GTX 1080 8 Gb, 64GB

Nvidia Driver Version 376.53

Octane PlugIn Version 3.05.3

C4D R18

Would appreciate some help.
