Hello, my Xparticles (build 742) on Cinema4D R19 isnt showing in the live viewer but did before. Not sure what is causing it since Ive tried using various versions of the releases and game/studio drivers. It stopped working without reason even with the octane tag (geometry particle rendering.)

I even create a fresh new scene and still getting no geometry particle rendering.

Hi,
I’m using xparticles 895, and everything is working as expected here:

Which version of c4doctane plugin have you installed exactly?

Please go to c4d menu Script or Extensions/Console, (Shift+F10), and share a complete screenshot of the panel, or copy/paste in the answer, thanks.

I have reverted back to C4D 2020.2 RC-6 and it works again (someone else did this as well.)

Please download and reinstall c4doctane 2020.2, using 7zip to uncompress the .rar archive.

Hi, i've just upgraded Octane from my old V4 version. As Agendum mentionned it, i can't either use my 732 XParticles version with the last Octane Build and had to downgrade to 2020.1.5-R4 available in the download section. With this Octane version, xparticle works perfectly.
Could you investigate to find the problem please.

I did reinstall using that method but still the same issue, that being the c4doctane 2020.2 plugin.

If I roll back to the c4doctane 2020.2-RC6 plugin and use either the standalone 2020.2 or 2020.2-RC6 it works with my Xparticles build.

Ok, confirmed, Xparticles works in 2020.2, but only with Build 884, and 895:

Do you need to upgrade your Xparticles license to be able to use Build 884, or 895?

Yes, I would need to upgrade (by buying another year of maintenance agreement which I cant afford right now)
