I'm still running 3dsmax 2024 because of all the lagging reports with newer versions. So also on Octane 2025.5- 16.12.
Reading here all the posts it seems its a bit dangerous for updating to latest version? Especially if I render out of core with really heavy scenes? I'm not working with particles and clouds like others here.
My recommendation would be to move to a newer version of 3ds Max, v2026 should work perfectly fine, or v2027 if you specifically need it, and then install OctaneRender 2026.2 on that setup, rather than using it with 3ds Max 2024. I’d also suggest running a few tests first to identify any possible compatibility or stability issues.Regarding the Nvidia Studio drivers, after extensive testing I eventually decided to roll back to version 591.86. The newer releases didn’t show any clear or critical issuesa te moment, it seems to me, but in my experience 591.86 currently feels the most solid and dependable driver version for OctaneRender.
