Code: Select all
A. Windows 10, 1903
B. 2xRTX 2080 (rendering), GTX 970 (display)
C. 8 GB VRAM
D. Nvidia game ready driver 440.97
E. OctaneRender Standalone 2018.1.3 / 2019.1.5
F. OctaneRender plugin 2018.1.3 / 2019.1.5
G. Cinema R21.115


When saving render passes using EXR format compression (tried ZIP and DWAA) is not working. On the contrary when saving EXR(Octane) format the file compression is working.

To define something as a bug, that should be having something fixable. EXR type belongs to C4D SDK and limited on compression types and It's buggy from C4D SDK if I remember well. OctaneEXR has support for all compression types. I'll disable unsupported types to avoid potential bug reports on this.
Thanks for your effort!
