The xsi addon installs just fine of course, but when I point it to the Octane exe, it fails and tells me to use Octane 2.2. I've double-checked, and yes, I am running Octane 2.2. So I'm not sure how to proceed.

For rigid bodys, it doesn´t work correct while the calculation of the simulation is ever a little bit different so that the frames doesn´t match.
For that you should freeze the animation.

For Pointclouds, you should use the write to chache function, when the addon is out

I found that, while Octane like to crash when i render a animation. About 3-5 times in 100 frames.
Maybe i can catch the freezes from Octane, kill the process and send the same data again to Octane, so that you can render a animation in one time, without to render skipped frames while Octane crashed.

it would be handy if we can figure out why it crashes,
can describe in detail what happens ?

maybe this is the issue ?
