Hi Ahmet

Could you, please, look into the issue with geometry rendering using X particles and groups?
in short - if more than one group is used, all the particles belong to the group numbers other than 1 doesn't render.
I described the problem here: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=80425

Just cjecked on the 2021.1.6 R3 - the issue stil exists

Hello. Don't know if its plugin or octane's bug but if i have a glass material object with light exclusion tag, objects behind this glass are excluded from those lights too. And objects refracted in glass lose their personal light exclusions and inherit glass options.

Unfortunately the answer you provided uncovered behaviour of the plugin even more bizarre. I also provided the working setup from the previous version. Please check the discussion.

2023 OSL issues, the OSL Wood Grain crashes fairly often and when using R26 this is not an issue it works and renders fine. Literally piping the WoodGrain OSL into the Bump and just rendering yield a crash 99.99 percent of the time so I reverted back to S26 and same Octane version but runs fine. Seems to be an OSL related issue with 2023 not sure.

With 2023 I have stability issues. It comes from the graphics library which is used for new node styles and 2023 memory management. You all don't need to report anything from 2023 build. It will be fixed ASAP.

I don't know if this has been reported, but if I turn off "Camera Visibility" on an area light C4D crashes reliably. I don't even need to be rendering for it to crash. C4D 2023, 2x3090, Win 11, 497.09 (Clean Installed using DDU). Might this be a driver issue?
