Paul,
Nope, didn't help. For me both
Load Octane Materials from .duf user presets and
Automatic material updates after content loads were already ticked. Also the
Missing is disabled. Everything loads excepts for the textures images. The weird part is after manually assigning them I had saved them under
My Presets. When I click on them under
My Presets, the preview shows the texture. Once I drag and drop it on the surface, the texture map disappears but everything else is present or if I do a
Copy as new material, same thing happens, all the texture map is missing from the copy. Basically the same effect as saving and closing the scene and then reloading it.
Under the
System->Messages I see all the textures are being loaded from the a folder that does not exists. My contents are installed in the f: drive, it is trying to load from the c: drive.
If I do
Create as new material->Auto Material the textures load but I loose all my edits. But even if I save after this and close, reloading the scene again, does not load the textures.
If I open this scene in 3.x, the scenes opens without any of the textures but everything else is there. Once I drag and drop from
My Presets to the relevant surfaces, the textures show up properly (unlike 2.x where they are missing). If I save the scene under 3.x and then open it again in 3.x, the textures are loaded properly. So the issue is only present in the 2.24.2.5 version as far as I can tell.
