In the past, even if it was set to 1.0 and a response curve was selected, there was a gamma of 2.2 applied. Now, this gamma of the response curve is taken into account. In other words: The gamma you select in the imager node is the gamma that is actually applied.
mmm, but now the Kodachrome or Ektachrome, for example, response curves needs to have the gamma @ 4,84 :(

No, not really. In the past they were meant to be used with a gamma of 1.0 and now it's 2.2 (or the gamma of your display).

Unfortunately the Kodachrome or Ektachrome response curves needs to have the gamma @ 2.2 like for Linear/Off in previous version of Octane.
it seems that the Linear/Off value has been correctly translated but the other curves with Gamma 2.2 seems not. Here is an example:

I noticed the crash problem yesterday with 2.04 as well when using for the first time a very large displacement surface.

I am currently rendering with success a displaced ground, but had to disable two surfaces with displacement that were not in the field of the camera.

It looks like several object with displacement at the same time or displacement outside the camera field leads to crash... just some clues.

:arrow: On the image below, I also notice that displacement looks much better in shadows than in lit areas. I assume that the reason why is because the light bounces between the stacked micro faces of the displacement stucture and leaks...

With versions < 2.05 all camera response curves had to be used with a gamma setting of 1, to be correct. Kodachrome 25CD was a 25 ISO emulsion with a very hard tone curve. If you applied a gamma of 2.2 you made it a soft curve again, which is ok, but not Kodachrome 25CD. The gamma of ~2.2 is already included in the measured tone curves we use, which was completely hidden in the past and caused a lot of confusion, because gamma meant something different if you were using a camera response curve or no curve.

Older scenes will be converted to exactly match the output in previous versions. So you don't have to fiddle around with them. For now, it should be set to 2.2 by default.

I think I like the new gamma default. In the MODO plugin, I often switch between a camera curve and setting it off to closer match MODOs render output. Part of that was manually changing from 1.0 to 2.2. Now I don't have to? If so, thanks!

No, that's not what is happening. If you set a gamma to 2.2 in 2.05 you get the same tonemapped result as with a gamma of 1.0 in 2.04.

Awesome. Cheers for the update and gamma change.
