Cant render out frame range

[fl4mingo]

Hello,
I have been trying to render out a frame range of my FLIP sims white water and every time I try it gives me a black file.
I have the file split up to have the wave geo as one layer and the WW as its own, the wave geo worked perfectly fine when I rendered out it as a frame range.
It works normally when I view it in the IPR and if I do it as an individual frame so I don't think its an issue with my OCIO config.
So far I have tried:
- Deleting the Octane ROP
- Copying everything to a new file
- Disabling motion blur
- Disabling denoising

Any help would be appreciated!

You probably don't have any geometry in the first frame. Try rendering when there's already something in the shot or add a single point and merge it with the geometry.

that did the trick thank you! I guess it was only emitting the particles on frame 2 so moving the range over one fixed it.
