Building Geometry/Rendering Freezing Constantly

[Arrrtie]

Hi there. I've been encountering this problem since I installed the plugin, and it's only been getting worse in the last week. Randomly, and especially after making significant changes (adding a new scene after the Octane Viewport is already open causes this pretty consistently), the Octane Viewport will grey out and start attempting to build geometry or try to render with no success. At first this was a minor inconvenience that happened once a day or so, but this week it happens every few minutes. I know that there is a temporary fix by closing Daz, deleting the OctaneRender_settings.oczdb file, and reopening, but when this happens multiple times, it becomes pretty frustrating. Additionally, the 'save' button doesn't/rarely become active after hitting the final render, so I've been using autosave, then deleting the extra images. I upgraded my rig specifically to be able to use Octane or other GPU rendering options, but I've been using Iray again because it's consistent. I love the potential of Octane and my favorite creators use it, so maybe I'm doing something wrong? Is my current build not enough? What can I do to increase the performance? Current Specs: i5-8400 2.8GHz CPU, RTX 2070 Super, 32 Gigs DDR4, Windows 10

I don't mean to sound angry, but I've been pretty unhappy so far, and I have a lot of investment in Octane so far. Thanks for any help or advice!

May I suggest trying the Octane 2020.1 version of the plugin.
