Minor bug: the render display shows 60/0 MB memory used even though the device manager detects my total memory correctly
so does a propper model render fine now ?

On the first look, this RC is faster then the old version. The mix function is great.
Resolution changing during the rendering dont work with my system, but with this problem, i can live. ;)

I tell a lie. Actually, 1.021 has the same behavior - directlight works fine but pathtrace does not - stops the driver.

Note that the Notebook CUDA 3 drivers (for the 'M' devices, I think) are on a separate development path in nVidia, apparently.

thanks, but we definately should see if we can fix that... it's quite stable on our hardware setups. (changing res on the fly)

Bump doesnt seem to work for me in 2.2 RC1 anyone else confirm ? I've tried several different textures and also did the jump between pathtracing and direct trick to see if that helped but nothing does.

Thanks for the command line options.

Btw, (on Linux) I tried multiple variations; ./octane --help, ./octane -h, ./octane --Help, ./octane --HELP, ./octane -?, all went straight into UI.
it's noted, we'll check it for RC2.

Hi Radiance,

I redownload the Linux version after Octane kept crashing for no reason, and now I can get the command line arguments from --help flag.
