Just increase the "Refresh Time" in Octane settings. The smaller this value, the more times per second the plugin locks the image buffer from Octane engine, preventing engine from rendering. Set the value to 1 or 3 seconds, and it will render faster.

Thanks Very Much JimStar!!!!

v1.02b does not fix the issue for me. Batch render works on 1 of 2 machines I have octane on. Very similar specs between the two computers.

Ok 10 minutes a go the problem came back!!! decided to uninstalled the plugin then re-installed it, then in the Plugin preference I switched off auto load. This seems to have done the trick I still don't understand why its so problematic - see if that helps anyways

i still got some batch render problems (almost for 3 month now). i always switched back to other renderers when it occurred but i still want to use octane for some jobs but as long as these problems keep popping up i think it's to risky for me.
so i tried to render a kind of big scene from a project i recently did (about 4mill polys, first i wanted to do the whole thing in octane but when the batch problems keep popping up i switched back to vray because at that point it was the savest thing to do).
it at first all goes fine until it stops at a random point. i switched verbose mode on to track it down and thats the lat thing my machine logged .

Fatal Error. Attempting to save in C:/Users/JOHANN~1.ENZ/AppData/Local/Temp/johannes.enzinger.20130204.1904.ma
// Maya exited with status 1

whats weird is, that it had already rendered about 20 frames without complaining. anyone knows what can cause this problem? like i already said, i like octane and it's speed but at the current state it feels to unstable for me to use in a real production (or at least batch rendering does).

Can you please post here the dumps Maya creates after crash?
Maya creates them in Temp directory, the files looks like (numbers will be different): I need both these files to investigate the reason of it...

And if you can give me the scene which causes this error - it may be helpful too.

shure. crash log says:

Thank you.
But the .log file is usable only as the second part to .dmp file. Can you please send me the .dmp file too (just attach the files to post, no need to post the content here)?

ok. here is a zip file with all the crash output files

Thank you!
