If you still experience hangs during the scene update, please send us a scene plus instructions how to reproduce the hang.
Hey man! This is great news
I don't know if this helps but yesterday I made a post (on this page: viewtopic.php?f=85&t=68511&start=20 ) in which I reported update hanging in the IPR.
You'll see about three posts from me, the initial post is me trying to get my head around the issue and then there are two more further down where I managed to narrow it down a bit more.
In a nutshell, the way I managed to get it to crash is by using a particle system with a Sweep to make trails and after about 40 - 50 frames of animation Octane gets stuck updating. This doesn't happen in 3.08 (I tested it out) so I hope that helps.
I did attach a scene file (which will expire in 6 days) but it uses the Early Access build of X-Particles so I expect that might cause problems your end in identifying the issue. Just to be thorough, I spoke with Insydium and they couldn't identify an issue their end.
The initial post I made about this was the one marked "Thu Aug 16, 2018 1:11 pm" - I didn't want to make a mess of the thread by just re-posting stuff, I hope this was the right call
If you could let me know if this info is of any use that would be awesome, then I can just leave it to you guys and not bother anyone with it in future.
Cheers guys
