The icon on the task bar was just the error message... once that is gone I got nada
if I just run octane from the terminal I get a Unnamed Project -Octane Render 1.10 and no file menu or anything where as I do get that when I launch it from an icon
Hoping this helps so I can be up and running by Friday : > ))

This command line parameter disables OpenGL for the viewport and enables a fallback solution using standard windows drawing. You can set this option in the preferences, but if you can't reach it, because the UI is stuffed you can use the command line argument to get around the OpenGL issues. To make it persistent, just open the preferences and click on OK.
So it seems that your driver/hardware setup is causing the issues. Which hardware are you using?
