Re: C4D PlugIn wont activate

Having the same issue today - changed the DNS settings, also used a VPN, tried installing different versions of Octane, updating the Maxon App, installing all updates to drivers and system, and its still happening...

If we remove the Octane folder from the Plugins folder for C4d, it stops happening ...

Re: Multipass layers completely black

The problem still happens even when I add more AOVs.
To be clear, it is exporting the AOVs correctly to the folder, but in the Picture Viewer when I select Layer > Single Pass, all AOVs are just showing black, so none of them can be previewed during the render process.
When I switch back to V 2021.1 ...

Re: Multipass layers completely black

Having the exact same problem as the OP - any AOVs are showing black in the Picture Viewer but correct in the Live Viewer.

Using the latest builds (2022.1.2) in R20 and 2023

Simple scene created and linked which is giving the error:

Re: C4D crash when saving denoise pass with large resolution

Hey Ron,

We were experiencing the same issue, but managed to get it to work on large files, at least without denoiser - go into your Devices tab in Octane setting and uncheck all of the 'Use for denoising' boxes for each of your GPUs and it should now work.

We are still experiencing the crashes ...

Re: Octane resets render priority to "HIGH"

We are also experiencing this issue and are using 4.01.1-R2 on C4D.
Every time you open Octane settings it has reverted back to PRIORITY_HIGH even without closing C4D.
Any way to stop this would be appreciated.

Re: PV crashes when saving passes enabled

Another update - ive been using it all day and it crashed twice on me - both times when I was trying to use an internet browser at the same time as it was rendering a sequence - I could then repeat the crash by basically trying to use another app like a web browser or mail, while it renders.
