It's version 1.13 (so a few months old), and since then the commercial version has had all the proxy loading and scatter generation functionality added.

Thanks for your quick reply,

You need the AC18 plugin demo then (a week or two away), or install the demo version of AC17 and try the AC17 demo version of the plugin.

The current demo version is build with Octane 1.20 - which is really very very old! The next demo version should be built with the current Octane release (so includes render passes, camera motion blur, displacement mapping, and all the other Octane 2 features that are not in Octane 1.20). Also - I'm not sure if Octane 1.20 fully supports your card (PMC my not work), but the next demo version will (and the current commercial version of the Octane plugin does too).
