I'm listing my previous bugs here so they dont get lost in old threads:

5) Regression? Universal material with medium is producing more fireflies than the same settings done with a specular material:

6) Vectron surfaces rendering wrong with universal material:

Thanks for reporting, these are now fixed and will be in the next release.

When I enable denoising half way a frame, the render resets and starts over, but the 'render-time' did not reset.

Once again I want to thank the developers for the broken displasement and the fact that for 5 years they can not fix it.

My questions:
1. What happens to Octane 3.08.5 if i upgrade to that driver to 419.17 ? (currently i use older 417.35 and my V 4.x and 3.08.5 work fine and i'm just testing 2018.1 betas which also starts but not used it much due many bugs/problems)

3.08.5 won't work with 419.17, we first need to release an update to 3.08. Why use v3 when you can use v4 for free? Let us know if there is something in v4 that isn't working for you.

2. Is 2018.1 network rendering working? (i have 3 v4 licenses) Is network daemon install problem solved ?

2018.1 licensing model is slightly different to our previous versions. To use network render, you need an Enterprise All-Access license.

Hi there and thanks for the continuous development.

Is there any estimation when the slave / render daemon options will be available for the 2018.1 release.
We as a studio relying on network rendering to push through animations as well as still renders. So upgrading to 2018 unfortunately is not really useful until the network feature is added :-)

Don´t understand me wrong. I am not complaining. Just asking for a rough ETA.
Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Raphael

To use network render from 2018.1 you need to use the Enterprise build.
