Can you try this version for 2010sp1-2013 x64?
You must only replace the octane_x64.dll in the addon folder with this one.
Maybe better is to rename the old one...

Rendering stills works fine, however I get this in the error log when doing animations.

' ERROR : RenderMap "OctaneMap" could not create image "Z:\_CG_Sweden\Work\Sagafilm\MTG_2012\Octane_Peter_KVideo_Wall_01_RenderMap.png". Invalid file type?
' ERROR : Aborting.

Weird huh? It generates the map, but it doesnt save down a file.

Hi Face! Works better and better.. It still drops out every now and then so I end up with a "stuttering" video sequence. As you can see from the log, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

Seems like it works best when putting the viewport to wireframe, and dont touch anything while rendering.. If I set it to textured viewport, and is clicking around on stuff, it gets the abort message everytime. Seems like its just a little picky? Maybe because I save down to a rather slow fileserver, it gets mad?

I moved the Octane scenes locally to C: instead.. Now it works perfect, so it must be some save down issues, being to fast for verification.
