SOLUTIONS TO COMMON ISSUES
1) Make sure your NVIDIA drivers are up to date. If in doubt, run Octane Standalone, then add and click on a Rendertarget to make sure it starts rendering.
2) If the Octane Camera direction does not match up with the AutoCAD camera, Rightclick the XYZ axis in the AutoCAD viewport and select "World".
3) Cuda error 999 - failed to load shader code: Multiple definition of 'cpSptStatistics' in 'cuda_teturemode' means that your plugin version is too old for the Nvidia drivers that are installed, so update to the latest version of the plugin
AutoCAD Version
The plugin requires AutoCAD 2019 Windows 64bit.
To use this version, you need a GPU of compute model 3.0 or higher. Support for Fermi GPUs (like GTX 4xx and 5xx) has been dropped. Also make sure you use a driver of version 419.17 or higher.
Network Rendering
For Network Rendering, you must use the Octane slave release from the Octane Standalone installer which matches the exact Octane version of the plugin you are using. This version matches OctaneRender Standalone 4.00.

If you have a support issue, pls provide the following information:
- Operating System (ie. Win XP, Vista, 7, 8)
