2 strange things happening

sorry, me again,

since some time I recognize two curious things going on
all the time.

1. In the Info-Bar there is flickering the text: "INSTANCE LIST CREATING..." without stopping
2. Some Texture Icons in the Mat-Manager are getting dark suddenly

I have the feeling, that I accidentally changed some settings and
cannot find out which. Or is this something totally different?

And: my animated tv screens (with texture-emission) are producing heavy hotpixels.
Any suggestions how to solve this? I think its the "sample rate" from the emission settings
in material settings. But what value is usuals without raising the rendertime too much?

thanks
Mike

another issue.

I have a MorphCam Setup with three MorphCameras
and a Stage objekt.

Now, everytime I try to set a focus of one of the Cameras
and rise the apperture Octane and C4D is instantly crashing.

All this stange things appeared, since I got the idear, to add my
Sony TV as second screen on my titan card. But I got performance issues and
disconnected the TV again.
Since that, Octane seams to play up.

I already made some "normal" restarts but behavior stays.
What can I do?

thanks
Mike

mograph+instances can cause this flickers on geometry updates. Ignore it.
if you have hardness on mat. previews keep open octane dialog or restart a render
if you talk about standart materials, plugin does some convertion but it's not enough for complex materials
