Please need help with a very weird problem.

Have been using Octane Blender plugin v1.5 for more than a year with no problems. All off the sudden octane does not dosplay textures when rendering. It displays all my old textures but if i open a working texture in Photoshop and resave it it to another file name it does not render the texture. It does not diplay my zbrush generated textures either. Create a texture from scratch in photoshop does not work either. If i download a texture from CG texture it works. The non rendering textures is displayed in blender when i chose view port shading material or texture, with correct UV map. Also when tested in cycles the texture that did not siplay in Octane works in Cycles! The texture is also diplaying in the UV editor btw. Have tried to re save to PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP in photoshop but it does not work. Just a white material just as there where no texture at all.

This is incredible! I can´t understand what could cause this. Have been twisting my hair for 10 hours.

This is getting even weirder. I moved the non working textures from the D hard drive to C desktop and now the textures are displayed. As soon as i put them back in the old folder they don´t work. Its like the folder has a curse or something. Or am i becoming mad?? WTF is going on. There is no logic to this-.

And now the textures start working again even when loaded from the cursed folder. This must be caused by Octane server some how. Wasted 10 hours for this!

It seems like Octane could not read any of the textyres in that particular folder due to the folder had ÅÄÖ non english letters in it. I had no idea this could be a problem. Problem solved now anyway.
