This is the recommended thread for downloading, and posting any questions, suggestions or support queries for OctaneRender for AutoCAD TEST and STABLE releases.

SOLUTIONS TO COMMON ISSUES

1) Make sure your NVIDIA drivers are up to date. If in doubt, run Octane Standalone, then add and click on a Rendertarget to make sure it starts rendering.

2) If the Octane Camera direction does not match up with the AutoCAD camera, Rightclick the XYZ axis in the AutoCAD viewport and select "World".

3) Cuda error 999 - failed to load shader code: Multiple definition of 'cpSptStatistics' in 'cuda_teturemode' means that your plugin version is too old for the Nvidia drivers that are installed, so update to the latest version of the plugin

AutoCAD Version
The plugin requires AutoCAD 2019 Windows 64bit.

To use this version, you need a GPU of compute model 3.0 or higher. Support for Fermi GPUs (like GTX 4xx and 5xx) has been dropped. Also make sure you use a driver of version 419.17 or higher.

Network Rendering
For Network Rendering, you must use the Octane slave release from the Octane Standalone installer which matches the exact Octane version of the plugin you are using. This version matches OctaneRender Standalone 4.00.

Support Issues
If you have a support issue, pls provide the following information:
- Operating System (ie. Win XP, Vista, 7, 8)
- 32 or 64 bit
- Amount of RAM
- Graphics Card(s) - model (ie. GTX 580, 3GB)
- Nvidia driver version
- AutoCAD version and build number
- OctaneRender for AutoCAD version (ie. 1.20.1.10)

There is no Regular V4 license version at this time. OTOY recently announced that there will be an upgrade path for Octane 4 regular/perpetual license holders to Octane 2019.1.  Details and availability have not yet been release. See https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=369639 for more details.
