What directory is the Octane Prefs Kept

[p3taoctane]

The icon on the task bar was just the error message... once that is gone I got nada

if I just run octane from the terminal I get a Unnamed Project -Octane Render 1.10 and no file menu or anything where as I do get that when I launch it from an icon

Hoping this helps so I can be up and running by Friday : > ))

If I go to Octane 1.11 on my desktop and run from a terminal octane no-opengl

I get the same error message but I can't click it to close and quit it freezes the process and I have to force quit

If I run octane no-opengl from a terminal I get the splash start-up Screen then:

File error

no-opengl

The command line would be

Code: Select all

octane --no-opengl

Notice the two dashes they are important. If you do that you wouldn't get the error message.

OK that launched it
Benchmarking at 157.10 : > )

Now icon works also... what magic did we do by doing that

This command line parameter disables OpenGL for the viewport and enables a fallback solution using standard windows drawing. You can set this option in the preferences, but if you can't reach it, because the UI is stuffed you can use the command line argument to get around the OpenGL issues. To make it persistent, just open the preferences and click on OK.

So it seems that your driver/hardware setup is causing the issues. Which hardware are you using?
