Unreal Crash when loading Decals

[VincentW]

Hi Octane support team,

I have had an issue with the latest 0.78 for unreal 5.3. When loading 1-2 decal objects, it works fine, and yet it crashes when more decal objects have been loaded, and some decals are turning black instead of its original texture.

In general, octane will become very slow when loading decal objects and engine crashes in most of the time. I hope this can be fixed in the next released version.

Thanks for the support.

The 2023 version of the plugin has a slower way of doing decals. It is adviced to use the Octane 2024 version of the plugin for scenes that use decals. Note that decals are still a bit slow in 2024, but mostly during rendering.
