Hi, I can't use Octane on R16 Mac OSX.. and I can't register my account, I fill all the fields, Octanes popup says "you have to restart C4D" but all these fields are empty again when I come back. Any idea ??

This is what i can read on console :

Octane Render for Cinema 4D 2.06.1
Octane Render SDK version: 2.06

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't Read Preset File: /Applications/MAXON/CINEMA 4D R16/plugins/Octanepresets.dat
Can't Read Preset File: /Applications/MAXON/CINEMA 4D R16/plugins/Octanepresets.dat
CExp 1

this file : presets.dat even doesn't exist, and Octane is the folder which contains the plugin, not a part of the name of the file. Normally I should read logically /Applications/MAXON/CINEMA 4D R16/plugins/Octane/presets.dat

Hi
This file is not critical for installation, ignore it. Can you use it in R15? If you have Octane Settings window in layout, remove/save start again. Is this making any difference?

Hi Aoktar, thanks for the quick answer !
No, because I've just start with my R16, it's a fresh installation without user layouts..
But for now the plugin seems to work even the registration fields stay empties. Weird.

i have tweaked some part of settings to allow the gpus can go idle frequencies. this caused some refresh issues for some versions. but I thought that fixed most recent versions. weird

The Mac version just doesn't show the registration info sometimes. Sometimes it does. If you entered it once, it will work just fine regardless.
