Another +1 on the Mac Render Node app - that would be very helpful.

I noticed if render region is active, the sample limit is negated. Maybe that was the difference for you?

Otoy loves to keep us in the dark about everything, including Black Friday Deals, last year I think the deets only came out on Thanksgiving day, so I'm expecting a similar thing this year— but who knows, OTOY, throw us some real news other than your star trek thing, please!

I just updated from the Non-addon version of 2023.1.3 v28.16 - to 28.17 (stable) - the latest 2023 available as of last week.
All the textures are broken from files I created in 28.16 - I found that all the shaders which end with the material output node, suddenly are missing 'Octane' in the ...

Lino, I 100% appreciate the sentitment, and I do appreciate your responding to me, but you've got to understand though, as a production artist, working on critical work with deadlines that I cannot be a beta tester with my project files while new versions are fixing bugs for new features.
I am ...

The title is 27.17 - I'm talking about that same version 27.17 :D
It's the latest available for Octane 2022 - I'm not even going to try updating to 2023 - as that just seemed to introduce new bugs.

I've since reverted back to 27.16 because this output bug is detremental to any real production ...

I did a little test with 4 Frames, I turned off the checkbox that says overwrite.

And now I do get 4 outputs, but the frame # is still missing, instead it keeps adding a zero for each new frame, and if I had a simple 150 frame animation that would get ridiculous (not to mention, useless).

This is still a bug.

I'm using the string as suggested, but the frame #s are not saving, and each frame is overwriting the previous frame when rendering more than 1 frame.

I had trouble getting the 28.9 (Custom Build) to work correct when I just installed it. I was forced to run as Adminstrator in order to get the Octane Engine to work in the Addon preferences.
