Hi I'm an enterprise subscriber, but I'm having an issue where renders that go beyond a couple thousand samples suddenly get the octane watermark on them. This has happened across multiple project files. Once it appears, any further renders show the watermark immediately upon rendering until I restart Houdini. Needless to say, this is a deal-breaking bug as I can no longer trust that Octane will complete a render successfully.
I was not having this issue on previous versions prior to upgrading to Big Sur so I could use the latest Octane X PR. My specs:
+ macOS Big Sur 11.2.3
+ Houdini Indie 18.5.499
+ Octane_2020.1.5.3_PR8_Houdini_18.5.499_OSX
+ Happens with PT and PMC kernels
+ 2019 Mac Pro, 24 core, 384GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro W5700X
+ Wired internet connection 900Mbps (in case this is about connection to the licensing server)
I'm attaching an example scene that exhibits the behavior, but as I said this is not scene-specific and has been plaguing me since upgrading to Big Sur and the associated Octane version.
