Guys, when I wrote what I did above, I intended it to be my last post here on the Octane forums, because, like I said, I have better things to do. However, I was very curious to see what others were saying about LW being dead etc...

After reading a couple posts by folks that are seemingly in an ...

Yo! This is my first time posting in ages! I actually saw a link to this thread on the blenderartist forum. (I have been a fully 100% Blender/E-Cycles guy for a couple years now.) My initial reaction for a minute or so was a tinge of sadness that LW and Octane LW is officially dead, per Juanjo, but ...

Okay. Octane's more real than real. Kinda like "more human than human". Gotcha.

Octane is way faster than E-Cycles, the AI Denoiser is doing an amazing job, there's NVLink and RTX support and a lot of optimizations you can only find in the OTOY Blender custom build.
Especially with this new release, I feel we reached an extremely exciting productivity level.

That's a bold ...

Kevin in Support got me fixed. Apparently I grabbed the Studio version of 4.05 by accident... Yeah, I'm a dumbass.

Whew! Thanks for helping so fast bro! I didn't have a 4.05 Standalone installed.. I will try to roll that back right now. I didn't think SA even needed to be installed... I'll report back. Wish me luck.

I can not get this mother****ing working no matter what I try. When I try to Activate I keep getting the ...

It's all in my sig.

Thanks J! Yeah, rolling back to 4 should be quick and easy, and I'll need to do that anyway, so that's what I'll do, and test a couple. Had you answered that Octane 2019 LWS files would absolutely not open with Octane 4 LW, or I'd have major problems, I'd have no choice but to renew my sub, or buy a ...

If I saved jobs with Octane 2019 for LW, would I be able to open it in Octane 4 for LW?.. Or am I going to run into problems? I ask, because I am not planning on renewing my Enterprise subscription, and just going with Octane 4 for old jobs. I'm hoping that I will still be able to open the LWS files ...
