Autodesk will get what they want to. Imagine Refractive does not aggree to sell to Autodesk. Autodesk says "okay no problem. we can just phone our long term partner nvidia and they will change some tiny things ion their CUDA code so you guys have to rewrite your core again and make your product ...

I'm having the same trouble as PaperTurtle, and looking at the CUDA device menu I see nothing. I have a GTX260 running Win7 (I guess that's in my sig though), and everything was fine with the last release?
Edit/Note: I'm not sure if I have the 280.26 driver installed, I'll DL that tomorrow and try ...

That is...amazingly helpful. Thanks!

I had some similar problems... If the scale is right, and the scene is centered around 0,0,0 in Max (another error that seems to pop up from time to time, I've learned), check the Ray Epislon setting and make sure it's not near zero.

Thanks for all the help, guys. My scene was, somehow, like 20 meters above origin, that helped a lot (there were still one or two oddities), then I found that my ray episilon setting was at 0...changing that fixed the rest.

As you can see, the background quite odd...Max reported no export errors, and I am only using about 450 MB of my VRAM (out of 900 total in my GTX 260 ...

@gvnwst: I have the same issue but on linux. You have internet connection and you can ping live1.refractivesoftware.com? If yes, try to login customer area and deactivate octane. Wait 30 mins and run again. Imho some problem about the licence checking and we get wrong error message.
Thanks that ...

I'm having odd issues... The error window (attached screenshot) comes up every time I try to run the Cuda 3.2 version, even though I have Cuda 3.2 installed.
When I try running the 3.0 version, it loads...until I punch in my Live user account information. It says "Cannot Connect to Live Server" and ...

I will most definitely try. Not gonna promise anything.
