OctaneRender™ 3.0 for LightWave™ - Alpha build 3.00.10.0

[Lewis]

I've installed 3.0.6 beta and rendered frame in 3h 23m 20sec, same frame that crashed 3 times today on 3.0.10 Beta.
So it's not my hardware issue then (a relief).

Maybe OTOY devs can answer me Is there anything on the 3.0.10 that requires newer Nvidia drivers than my current 359.00 ?

Thanks

Last Driver is 365.10. I use them and alpha 3.0010.0 is absolut stable. no bluescreens. no problems.

When loading new surface IPR does not refresh ( long term issue )

Yes, I remember it. I think that the problems was that LightWave doesn't report a surface change event, but I will check it again.

I'm also on 365.10 now but no difference
Do you have any GPU on PCI-E 1x extenders and what's your tonemap settings in plugin options.

My 3.0.6 stable as rock for 10+ hours, 3.0.10 crashes, quits rendering or blue screens.

I also suffered a similar problem.
The cause of the problem is found. Using PCI extension cable was the problem. The problem is slow PCI as doeneungeot. In response to so much data transfer and system memory over it so. Rig systems have a very disadvantage. It uses a PCI-E 2.0 X1 cable is currently being used to connect directly to the motherboard. An error has disappeared like a lie.

It's not PCI-E connector/cable in my case 'coz Octane 2.25 and 3.0.6 works no problem with same setup while 3.0.10 crashes. If is cable it would crash same at least in 3.0.6 if not 2.25 which has different way for working but still stable in days of rendering.

Will test with new update and see how it goes next.
