Hi frankmci,
big thanks for sharing your experience
I would have never thought that the issue came from C4D R18.048

I will definitely duplicate my current C4D 18.039 install before attempting the next update.
You can download previous updates here:

and install them on a fresh C4D R18 through the Help>Manual Installation menu.
I hope that's useful.

I bought a new card (GTX 1060), because it seemed very hardware related. In order to get it running I needed to update to OSX 10.12.5 and install the new drivers for the GPU.
So in the end I updated everything: OSX, GPU driver, CUDA driver and Octane VR. Im still on c4d R18.041.
When I restarted I had a crash right away but after that one crash it seemed to run properly; I had it rendering for 4 hours, aborted the render (which always used to cause c4d to crash) and it didn't crash one time. So fingers crossed tonight and tomorrow; hopefully it won't crash and it's finally solved!
Thanks for info! What would be useful if you have some "bugreport.zip" so we can see where it happened.

2 days without crashes and it started again..
So there are endless combinations of c4d software + CUDA drivers + OctaneVR versions, but if it's so random, isn't it just hardware?
How can I possibly try all these software combinations?! That would take me forever...

I downloaded the file you mention, and if I go Help> Manual Installation and select the update file, it says there is no update. Probably because I'm on R18.041?
