JimStar- It may or may not be related but I started having this problem after updating Maya 2015 to service pack 5 yesterday. I've tried Maya 2014 with no issues so that leads me to believe it has something to do with the update. I am running version 2.06.

Thank you, it's important detail. I will check it.

In script editor the only line which gets added before the freeze is:
Now I tried SP5 with no difference at all - this also relates to the machine without the issue.

I am getting the same error with Maya 2014 sp4
I was getting the same sunsky error in the script editor and a full freeze using 2.10 series for both standalone and plugin and I just upgraded to:
Latest standalone 2.11.1 and the latest maya plugin 2.11.1-5.4
When I render without adding a sunsky or a octane light added I have no problem.
When I add either of them through the shelf buttons OR add Octane nodes through hypershade I get a lock up and SE just says:
shadingNode -asUtility octaneSunSky;
// Result: octaneSunSky1 //
and freezes
this is on a plane and a cube and nothing else
Thanks

Thank you, guys - I installed SP5 and was able to reproduce it. Will investigate the exact reason...
