It's not Octane issue, it will work if there are calculated channel voxels and proper names.

Hello!

I am also having an issue with this and haven't been able to get the flame to work with the Octane tag, only the smoke. Is there a page in the manual or elsewhere that can bring me through the process for using Pyro with Octane Tag, step-by-step? Or can someone explain it to me?

I'm using dual 3090s, which I read online some people were having issues with. I disabled one to prevent issues with this. Otherwise, still not getting it to work. I made sure the channel names were correct but not even sure I have the right set-up (volume builder with octane tag, and a circle object with pyro tag?) because I can't find any documentation.

Please let me know and thank you!

okay, so i actually got it to work. i think that this video has been a huge source of confusion for a lot of people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6W6Y_X ... lausSchatz

i then found that you can just use the tag now from this forum post, and i watched this video instead and got smoke and flames working immediately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6W6Y_XbsAI

haven't messed around too much yet, but figured i'd post this here in case others were having the same issues as me.
