OctaneRender™ 3.0 for LightWave™ - Production build 3.04.1.0

[BraceMedia]

I have a problem with both this build and 3.04.3.

I follow the instruction for new plugin install procedure exactly.
Once all done, and after plugin is Added in LW, as soon as I click 'Switch to Octane' or open an Octane scene, it triggers octane.dll to load of course. Here LW crashes completely to desktop.

Both versions.
I've updated to later nvidia drivers, on Quadro K5200.

I downgraded back to 3.03.4.1 and it's working fine.

Very strange.
I don't know what to do.

Hi,

To work with the new 3.04.3 build, have you removed the old Octane.dll and Octane.dat files from your LightWave/bin folder?

Perhaps you should try also to complete delete the LW config files, and install the plugin again in a clean LW installation.

Thanks,

Yes, I installed correctly according to the instructions.

I've not tried the config file thing though and nor another LW installation.
This is the first every update I've had a problem with.

If you click over "Enable Plugin" in an empty scene, are you also getting an instant crash?

What happens if you click the "About" button? If it works, please attach it here to verify the plugin and dll versions.

Thanks,

Thanks for the speedy response.

I will check again after this project's done. I had to get some flavour of Octane working again.

If memory serves, the About button worked fine, but clicking Enable or opening a scene that used Octane was instant crash to desktop from LW, with troubleshooty progress bar thingy appearing.

I've a new problem now though, will make a separate thread.

Hi Juanjo,

Just confirming for you that the new version 3.05.0.0 fixes this problem for me on my workstation now!

Thanks,
Dom
