Using the latest builds (2022.1.2) in R20 and 2023

Simple scene created and linked which is giving the error:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pw00or0q ... vltk0&dl=0

Any ideas on how to fix this? Or is it a bug?

Thanks

All good on my side with your scene. Add one more AOVs to check it again

The problem still happens even when I add more AOVs.
To be clear, it is exporting the AOVs correctly to the folder, but in the Picture Viewer when I select Layer > Single Pass, all AOVs are just showing black, so none of them can be previewed during the render process.
When I switch back to V 2021.1.6 R7 everything works correctly again...

I have the same problem. Worked fine with about 5 or 6 AOV´s then added some custom AOV´s. Now all passes are black in pictureviewer. Everything ok in octane live viewer

Update:
Found the problem and a solution:
I rendered a 3500 x 4500px image as a layered 32bit psd with about 20 channels. This file is pretty huge. In fileexplorer while saving I can see file growing. At about 5-6GB size, the file disappears
Dont know if this is a windows, c4d or octane bug. BTW: I cannot use otoy exr multilayer because i always get a strange error in PS when opening: "could not open - volume error"

At the end i saved as otoy exr in single files. That worked

It will consume a lot of RAM if you save a PSD with many layers at this resolution. What happens if you use smaller resolution for example? Also try to disable "Show passes".
