Scene crash only with octane

Posted: Thu May 01, 2014 4:43 pm
Hi, I have started to experience strange scene crash problems with octane scenes

This started all after newest update to 1.50a

I'm working on my current project, and at the end of the day I tried to reopen it, and I get this error instantly
http://prntscr.com/3f6bao
I check my older backup files from that project, all of them have this issue!, I went to autoback from max, at some point I was using scaneline as my main renderer, and those scenes from autoback open correctly, but other autoback scenes with octane - crash.

I checked other older octane projects made with lower octane version, and all works fine!

so I realized something is wrong with this scene, I managed to merge all scene objects to a new scene and after some testing, I saw one object was causing these problems (that object never caused problems before), problems would not apear if I don't have Octane as my renderer in scene, after careful merging to another scene, object-by-object, problem was somehow fixed (still remains mystery how)... but re-apeared the next day again!

on my next project that I'm working right now, I have completely new modeled scene, all was working ok for 3-4 days, and now one of my saved files have that error again!

I never ever had this problem, the only change to my system recently was new octane version.
I tried to install earlier version of Octane, but problem is still there!

so, the sum of all this is:
-new projects made with newest version of octane start having these problems here and then
-careful scene-merge to new scene version fixes the problem but obviously for a limited time
-when octane is NOT main renderer in the scene, all works fine
-this problem occured every time when my render farm was rendering with Backburner (first time it happened when my computer was also rendering, and today when I just had Manager opened - meaning other slaves were rendering.

by the way, I tested the scene that was crashing on other machines, all were crashing.

Octane team, if you want me to send you this scene, please give me your private mail to send it, because I can't make it public

Thank you for your reply!
