When Octane boots it goes all the way but the screen has No GUI
How can I delete prefs or something that might be causing that?

Where might that be

On Windows they can be found in %appdata%\OctaneRender.

What do you exactly mean with "no interface"? Can you post a screenshot?

Thanks I just left the office after a shutdown when I get back I will send a screenshot.

Essentially though I get file menu's etc and it loads textures and default HDrs that I assigned to my default settings and logs in and account is active... but then becomes inactive and the rest of all the interface is just gray. With no screens of any kind. (I'll send a screen shot as this sounds kinda vague.)

But whats weird is it kicks in and starts rendering... all GPUS take off.... just nothing to change thats all and I quit out. It quits with control Q but no menu activity.

Also if I run Maya plug in I can render and see the render... so i think it is some preference file that I'll try setting.

I'll try it and let you know.

Thanks for quick follow up. The app is rocking.

Gidday Roland and Abstax,
I removed the prefs file and the default file and still having the same problem.
I attached a couple of screen shots. One shows teh stack error... the others show that I have file menus but nothing else.

This is the same for 1.10 and 1.11 etc.

Any ideas

Peter

Any ideas ... I'm still dead in the water on Stand alone.
I can reinstal or uninstal... I tried an uninstal of Octane 1.10 problem still exists

Thanks

Which driver are you using? What happens if you launch Octane via the terminal using the command line argument "--no-opengl"?

File error
