I think it's a bug in 2.21. Try to uncheck "Start after beauty".

All objects are on ID1 by default. Set id2 for your objects. Watch render layer tutorials by inlifethrill if you missed.

now it´s just black.... -.- and if i set the layer Id to 3 (or 2 doesn´t matter) i don´t even get a picture!
kinda annoying - just to set up such a simple task cost me a lot of time by now... and the worst is never be sure if it´s my mistake or just a bug!

yes of course. If you don't select this method all objects will be collected a single mesh. Will loose all object properties. You should watch some tutorials to understand differences of methods. Octane does not works as other renderers. It works as STATE ENGINE and this methods are important. Without understand how works, you'll have lot of problems.
Can you test this scene? Or send your scene to check.
