Octane 2,3 64 started only the fist time

[tomas_p]

Hi.

I and SonarPhoton have the same problem.
Octane startet only on first time by the registration and in my case run very very slow (but with 800 000 polygons mesh with old materials). After reinstalisation from the old (recomended) driver to latest driver have the Octane the same problem. I trie startet the Octane from 4 locations in my PC but the crash is the same. I startet it from the folder which was in the zip.
I trie the 32 bit version with the same efect, but after registration don't workt it to.

Could you tell me if it is crashing directly at start up or after clicking a node for viewing ?

Thanks

My original post:

---

Octane started only the fist time, now it just say octane.exe has stopped working: close the program:-( every time...

I did start it from the rar archive, maybe that is what i did wrong... But it will not start again no matter what.

the reason i had to start it again was it crashed after i changed from diffuse to macro in a material...

---

It crash before the program opens at all... I se in the fierwall a few bytes are sent by live octane.

This is the error logg:

No Octane UI was loaded.

I have problems with Windows explorer after these bad starts by restarting computer fev times.

@sonarphoton.

Since you are under Win7, could you try this for me:

1. Go in

C:/Users/usersname/AppData/RefractiveSoftware

there you should find both the original 2.2 (the .lic file - don't touch it) and another file that holds your live id.

2 Try renaming that file.

3 Start octane again

4 It should ask you once again to log in

5 Tell me what happens from there on.

Thanks

The account needed to be activated again. But octane crash without opening at all as before after that:-(

[Nostromo]

Thanks

I forgot to mention i also tried to remove registry entries associated with the new octane then delete octane files and unrar once again with no difference....

Same problem here, It was working fine, and I was trying to do a test scene to post and I check the livedb materials and tried to download elvis wood, then it went in a loop and I manually terminated it, after that I've been unable to open it again, no ui, just win7 saying there's been some problem and won't start, I tried reseting the live cfg file and even thou I correctly activated the account back again, I haven't been able to run octane. Jee, I had such a neat test scene to play with...
Also, could it be done to select several node's and make them into a macro, I've got plenty of materials done, but the interesting ones at least use more than one node and it's a pain to put them inside a macro as of now.
Cheers, what I've been able to play with it look awesome. I'm anxious to figure out what's wrong with my windows to play again with it.
