Cloner + SplineWrap Problems

Hallo guys, i have some big issues with my c4d scenes with octane.

For some reasons, my scenes with (round-about 15) Spline-Wrap deformers applied, should not render that stuff, like that what is viewed in the viewport or rendered with the advanced renderer.
If if i render with octane in the render-viewer or picture viewer, most of the spline-wraps are damaged - floating anywhere in the viewport.

Same with my second scene - here i use spline-wraps clones on a surface.
If i hit render, the spline-wraped-geometry's (cubes with 80 intersections ) are rendered in low resolution - looks like the cubes have only 1 intersection.

Seems to me, that octane is not able to collect all informations of the spline-wraps before it start rendering. (same like open the scene in c4d - need 3-4 seconds to load and update the mesh - after jumping on his correct positions)

Any ideas how to fix this?

THX!

Maybe i have found a solution on the internet.
order of operations.
every frame c4d goes from the top of the object manager to the bottom.
make sure its all logical.
the spline should be first, than the deformer/deformed object.
make sure something at the top isnt depending on something at the bottom.
Can not test it jet, but i hope that helps.

Best.

I'm having a similar problem with a spline wrapped set of tiles generated on a cloner, offset with a step effector. When i go to render an animation the individual cloner objects momentarily (1 FRAME) "pop out" of sync of the spline wrap.
Setup is as follows:

-Main Group Null
-Step Effector
-Spline Wrap
-Cloner
-Null (cube inside)

I also tried mo-graph caching.

Any help is much appreciated. :)
