Heya - i'm on Win with 2 RTX 2080ti, R24.037 and Octane 2020.2.4 and Octane is starting to crash randomly on different scenes. Is there any combination with one of the last updates that is somewhat stable? I mean if anyone can recommend a octane version, that doesn't crash constantly and randomly - and what Nvidia driver is working for you? Any help is hiighly appreciated - this is getting frustrating as it was ok-ish the last weeks - but i didn't change anything, no driver change - nothing... Thanks

Please make sure to have updated Win 10 to 2004 or greater, and to perform a clean installation of 471.41 Nvidia Studio driver:
https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverR ... 7778/en-us

If this version does not work, please try with the DCH version:
https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverR ... 7776/en-us

To perform a clean installation, please follow these steps:

So Octane was working for a while but is again crashing randomly but constantly with almost all scenes (small tabletop scale to bigger environments, outdoor, indoor) i'm currently working on. Latest Octane version, latest Nvidia studio driver (clean install), latest R24 on win 10 (Ryzen 1950X). So atm the only thing reliable about Octane is that it keeps crashing at some point. So please if anyone can recommend a version that was a bit more stable with r24 let me know. I really don't want to rant but i don't have the time or nerve at the moment to figure out why this is not working properly - just right now it gets constantly in my way of finishing my jobs and earning money. I never had a render engine that unreliable, sorry to say that cause i liked octane from day 1 but it's getting ridiculous and maybe it's just me and i just keep using it wrong... i don't know.

2020.2.4 is very stable. If you have random crashes it means there's some issues on your system. Post some useful data to us for lighting your way. Start with sending some bugreport information as described in the picture.
