Hi,
Could you try with Octane Light Linking instead?

But if I need a С4D linking style, I find it more convenient than the standard octane one. Does this mean that this type of linking is broken now?

Ok, I've checked, and C4D Light Linking seems to work correctly with Octane Lights (Area, Directional, ecc.), but it doesn't work with Environment nodes (DayLight, Texture Environment, ecc.).

Can you confirm by disabling the Texture Environment node?

would it be possible to always post a link to the corresponding render client when posting new vresions? It would be a much appreciated QoL addition.

I second this, now that the link is not included in the maxon c4d downloads posting, I am having a hard time figure out how to navigate to go get the network render daemon installer

would it be possible to move back to including the download link to the network render node installer with each version posting?
It's difficult to track down the link to the correct network render node installer, matching the version posted
