Can you please send me this .blend scene from your post (with absorption medium problem)?

If you see this on the standalone as well then I think I now what it is. This problem has do do with connecting to the OctaneLive server (It will happen more often if your internet connection is unstable). It's something that has been plagueing Octane on Linux for a long time but we weren't able to fix it yet because it only happens so often. I will monitor this more closely.

cheers,

Thanks Thomas,

I didn't notice if I was having internet problems, especially to 127.0.0.1. I will keep a better look on that too. I did get another error when I was doing a lot of testing, but I had blender in the texture mode so it wasn't using OctaneServer. It was a sig fault, which might help you more?

Code: Select all
