Made the upgrade to Windows 10 Pro with all fresh "format c:", new installation of 3ds max 2019 and all SP and latest everything drivers. And what can I say? Octane still runs like a pile of trash and I'm really pissed...sorry for the words. But I'm tired of sending files, checking error boxes, reporting, interrupted by work. This is not my hobby. I earn money for my living with 3D.
The Material/Map Browser keeps crashing instantly which is worst thing and not predictable.
I would LOVE to try 2018.1 BUT even a SIMPLE plane with a Forest pack object CRASHES 3ds max. But hey, it's so cool for people having Vectron to spam the facebook group with instead fixing bugs.
Will evaluate other GPU software for further projects now and move back to Octane 3 if a client needs an old file re-rendered. Fed up with this. Rant over and out.
