Question about forthcoming Octane X

Mon Mar 23, 2020 6:06 pm

Do you think that Octane X will be less crash prone than the current CUDA version?

I have so many crashes related to Material Previews and Open GL Previews, they are unusable. Will these features in Octane X be running on Metal?

I don't care if Octane X is half the speed of the CUDA version I just want more stability.

Could you give me better information about your crashes? Don't you think you have something wrong on your setup for example?

Just in general Aoktar, I've always suffered a lot of crashes since I started using Octane. It's a lot more stable if I switch of Material & Open GL Previews, they cause extraordinary slowness and instability I find.

For what its worth, I also get frequent 1-2 second freezes if I have material previews on with complex(er) materials. Literally anything that causes a material preview refresh freezes the UI for a second or so. I thought it was just me running into it so I never reported it

Running a 2x 2696v3 with 2x 2080tis on Windows 10. Not sure if thats of any help at all though :\

That's why I ask you, because I don't get these problems. Reporting these with the proper information can help you to find the problem.

I'll try and send some reports in once I've done this job. I haven't had a crash for 3 hours, and that's because I switched off Material Previews and OpenGL Previews, that's the only change I've made.
