like other users I have the problem of numerous crashes on previous scenes created with versions previous to R21 and with plugins 4.05 or earlier. Now I have to shoot some old scenes from 6-12-24 months ago and render them now with some changes. I had recently reported problems with some large textures, however in the past I have used even larger ones without problems with older versions of the plugin.
A few hours ago I reopened a scene created in 2018 and I started having several crash problems as I was working on materials.
I opened each material with the Node editor and discovered that for some materials there were nodes multiplied one above the other, only by moving them aside I realized that they were many if not infinite. Whenever I attempted to start Octane Live viewer C4D R21 it froze making it necessary to resort to CTRL ALT Canc.
I found that the second string line (top right) of the material export did not appear in the LV and not even in the lower right in the C4D main window where the descriptions of the commands or the render appear (usually the materials generated were seen in sequence ).
Are the strings that appear at the bottom of the node editor, when selecting a node, necessary?
I have deleted all problematic materials from the materials manager. Now everything seems to be working. Everything has now become much smoother and super faster.
I am convinced that the crash problems are due to the materials and the nodal system, I observed that for Octane materials created with version 4.05 with the C4D shaders create problems, this aspect should be investigated better in 2019.1.5 in the past this problem has not been it is never presented with 4.05.
one of the attached screenshots contained a material with n textures displacement! apparently one but holding the knot underneath that there were at least a dozen plus many tens empty node.
I thank you in advance for the attention you will pay.

They look like idle nodes. But how did you created these? And which version used for original scenes? Please send me a few example scenes.
Hello Aoktar
when the materials were created I don't think the nodal system existed. The scene that contained those materials was created initially in 2017 and then resumed later for modifications I believe with C4D R19 because the date of the last access to this file is 2018, so I think it could be Octane 3.08.
I can't send you the scene because it contains production drawings and has now been modified to deliver the work to the client. As I wrote, I eliminated all the C4D shaders in the materials from the scene and corrected those that had innumerable overlapping nodes that were not visible except by moving them.
As soon as I have some time I try to see if I have some old backup file that contains materials with the described problem to send to you.
Thanks for your attention.
