Using M1 Max.
Do you have 25.015?

Yes I just upgraded to the latest 25.015 and still crashing.. I allowed the c4doctane-R25.xlib in security preferences. Am I supposed to be using it in rosetta mode?

I figured it out. It was colliding with the redshift plugin...

Like some of the previous posters having difficulty getting octane installed on M1 Max C4D 25.015. It simply will not show up inside C4D no matter how many ways I try to add it to the plugin folder. Nothing shows up in security setting (so it doesn't appear to be blocked). Also I have deleted and reinstalled R25 multiple times to get it to work. There are no other plugins in the folder so no Redshift conflict.

I am stumped.

Please, select the Cinema 4D.app, press Command+I, to get the Info panel, and enable the Open using Rosetta option.

Just got the M1 Max with 32GB RAM. Have been running some tests lately. I have a rig with 3070 and 32GB RAM. My test scene renders completely in 8 seconds on the 3070 rig whereas the scene took 30 seconds on the M1 Max. I am running the PR 12 Octane standalone edition. I tried using high-performance mode in power still the same result. Anyone knows when the Octane for Cinema 4D R25 comes out..
C4D OctaneX PR12 for S24 and R25 is already out, but only for Enterprise licenses for now:

When does the studio version come out? Why there is a delay in studio and enterprise edition :| :| Isn't both moreover the same apart from the licensing part ?

to solve the issue, please replace the res folder in R25/plugins/C4D-OctaneX-Enterprise-PR12/ directory with the following one:
res_for_PR12_R25.zip
Afrer restart, Live View should look like this:

Happy Mac GPU rendering,

Thanks for the fix.. works perfect... Do you also know how to fix the Redshift problem. I had previously used RS and worked fine, but had to uninstall to allow Octane to work in R25 (found this fix from forum). When RS is installed C4d does not get past the crash report screen until I uninstall RS?

Hi all,

Is there a limit support for GPU models? I have an iMac with a Radeon Pro 570 4 GB and it is not will selecting it.

Not sure if it is having issues getting device info as the only thing it shows in settings it memory size

Sorry, why the double standard here. Studio users also deserve the new version as the enterprise users
