Is it just me or...
Till MacOS latest update (11.6) everything seemed to be working more or less fine. Octane became more stable. And now after update Octane acting like right after its first release for Mac - crash, after crash after crash. Even the slightest edits in texture nodes causes crashing. Anybody facing same issues?

Hey guys,

2 questions.

1. Will the new m1x chips be immediately supported by octane x?
2. Is there any benchmarks on the Radeon RX 6700/6800 XT? (Either going to get an egpu for my MacBook or wait for the m1x chips)

Thanks heaps

AMD 6900 XT is supported by Apple Metal driver, and OctaneX, from Big Sur 11.4.

I own Octane Enterprise (Mac Pro) for C4D and updated to C4D R25. Is there a version of the PR11 updated to work on R25?
I've seen somewhere that it'll only work on R25 when OctaneX will reach the 2021 version. Is that true ? and when this will happen please ( approximately )?
This means that I won't be able to use my license of OctaneX Enterprise before it expires ?

When I boot into BigSur I use that, but I'd love to be on the bleeding edge and help make the product better(file bugs, etc) if there were such a program(like when OctaneX started).
I'm a developer as well so I am usually on the latest and it conflicts w/ using Octane.

Much appreciated!

I just installed a Gygabyte Radeon RX 6800 XT and I get 11 secs. on Path-tracing render. That´s a very good result, correct?

Not yet, only till S24 for now, and for S24 you to keep the R23.xdlib file, and remove the other .xdlib unused files.
