Thank you Lino,

you nailed the problem. OSX is not in focus testing at OTOY and this is the reason the OSX version is so bad.

The windows Nvidia Version is very stable I can second that because we use it as a render node and sometimes to work on. The OSX version is nowhere near. There are so many ...

Right now I am so fed up with Octane because the amount of bugs are unbearable for production work especially on OSX.
