LiveViewer crashes 50-60% of the time whenever I click the green octane logo to send geo to octane renderer. Also happens a lot right after I render an animation locally through the picture viewer. For example: I'd render in pic viewer for final output, render finishes just fine, then go back to click green octane icon in LV then BAM.... stuck on "Octane: Updating Date". I'd leave it there for over 15 minutes sometimes but it never recovers. I'd have to end process and restart. My scene file is relativity small.

Anyone else ever have this problem?

@Akotar: This happens to the same file that I sent you today but this happens a lot with any other project I've loaded. And, I don't know if I am just crazy, but I feel this started happening ever since I opened the "Zero Day" project file that Beeple kindly shared with us. I never had any kind of crash like that since before the 1st time this "Updating Data" lockup problem started occurring.

Thanks for your time.

Because this is a separate problem, has nothing to do with the other.
This is about not being able to update geometry to Live Viewer, it crashes at "Updating data" (see pic). The post you are referring to is about an incorrect alignment of a cloner in an animation.

All the way to the bottom left of this pic. It stays stuck at "Octane: Updating Data" indefinitely.

Ok. These screens don't say anythings. I need more info about your scene. Also you should check Console and Octane Log Windows when somethings is wrong. Do you see any errors?

[b] Console?

I think I've identified the problem to something very specific. I tried going down my render settings starting with defaults one by one. No crashing until I arrived at my Glare Power settings that caused the crashes for me. Every time I put the value to minimum, I'll then press the send scene button and BAM. It freezes. I tried it over and over and always crashes at "Glare Power: 0.0001". See pic. Hope this helps.

I think that's same issue. You should modify your scene.
