MacOS Blender Octane Server Freeze and Crash

[Alpha_675]

Hello there,
Currently facing this issue when i pan, scroll or zoom sometime render preview freezes and in the top left side it says "waiting for image" and scene doesn't update (1st image) If you revert back to solid view and again back to render view Octane Server crashes. Worst Part, this crash sets ups "window server" process at 100% GPU usage (2nd image) until i restart my pc (its so frustrating)





Mac M1,
RAM: 16 GB ,
Mac OS :Sequoia 15.5
Blender - 4.43, Octane 2025.2.1-30.5.0

Hey there,
updated to new OctaneBlender Addon 2025.2.1 - 30.6 Beta Release, and this version seems to be more stable and i am not facing any above issue.

Thank you

You can consider testing with a clean Blender install or user preferences reset, as corrupt settings can cause crashes. If possible, try your scene on another machine to confirm it’s not scene-specific.

ve run into a similar issue on my M1 Mac before, and in my case it turned out to be related to an older addon version. After updating to the latest OctaneBlender Addon beta, the crashes stopped and it’s been running much more stable. If you still experience problems, I’d also suggest trying a clean Blender install and resetting your user preferences — that helped me rule out corrupted settings.
