Can't Get Octane to Work in Houdini.

Hi everyone, I'm trying out houdini v 18.0.287.
I have the corresponding octane version of 2019.1.5.0 installed as well.

I have a basic scene with a grid for my geometry, as well as the camera, shop and rop set up from following some tutorials.
No matter what geometry I have, when I open IPR I am presented with the message "Rendering Failure. Octane can't render the scene. Check the available GPU memory or the scene complexity."

The Houdini Console generates this message when I try to restart the IPR.

*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access null node
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access pin via an invalid ID P_MESH (111)
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access null node pin
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access null item
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access null node
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access pin via an invalid ID P_MESH (111)
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access null node pin
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access null item
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access null node
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access pin via an invalid ID P_MESH (111)
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access null node pin
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access null item
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access null node
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access pin via an invalid ID P_MESH (111)
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access null node pin
*** OCTANE API MSG: Tried to access null item


This is happening consistently and I can't seem to find anything online about it.
In terms of specs, I have a rtx 3080 and 32gb ram so I don't think that would be the issue.
I have attached my scene file if that is helpful. Thanks

Hmm, I think that Octane 2019.1 is not compatible with the RTX 30xx GPUs. Do you know if Standalone 2019.1.5 works fine in this system?

Thanks,
