Hi,
please update to the latest Apple security update, then try to update only the GPU driver to the following version:
https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverR ... 2147/en-us
ciao Beppe

Well, I downloaded the latest security update, and now my system is incompatible with an Nvidia web drivers.....
Trying to figure out how to undo a security update, which I don't think is possible. I sure hope that wasn't an April Fool's joke! (kidding)

UPDATE:.
It looks like Apple just re-updated their most recent security update, and it killed Nvidia drivers in Macs like mine. In fact, my computer didn't recognize that I had any GPUs. Searching the internet, I found people in the same boat in some very techy "Hancintosh" forums, and in the last day or so, they even came up with some workarounds that involved a lot of terminal/code stuff that makes me uncomfortable. I got about half way through all of that, when I found that Nvidia saved the day by releasing a brand new web driver today! GPUs working again.. security up to date. We'll see if there's any change in 2018.1 behavior. First I have to downgrade my CUDA driver, because Octane will not work with the latest. Sorry to be long-winded. That all made for a scary day and eventually a huge sigh of relief.

Update 2:
Still freezing up regularly.

It seems there is a render region issue.
it somehow locks at 60 samples. It goes up after render region is re-enabled.

Hi Ahmet,

With the latest 2018.1 versions, I'm getting a lot of crashes when I happen to resize the LV, this never happened with the earlier versions of Octane, am I the only one?

Cheers,
Domenico

Hi Guys,

Is it just me or is the film attribute missing from the specular material?

Is this a bug?

Looks like I overlooked to display this part for specular material. I'll fix for next build. As a workaround set it with glossy type and switch to specular.

Thanks for confirming aoktar

I'll use the work around for now.

Thanks

2018 has been super stable for me so far. But I’m on PC. A few glitches here and there that I will report later, but stable and sweet.

Apple being at war w/Nvidia is going to make Mac support difficult I suspect.

I'm glad (I guess) to see that I am not alone!
Someone suggested to me that it may not be the plugin, but in the standalone app?.. I just hope it gets worked out.
