Got problems here with starting octane 018a
Both exe won't open. " octane.exe discovered a problem and will closed" ( My translation for the popup )
I tried that on Bootcamp.
Any suggestions?

Sorry, wrong thread, please put it in the right direction. Thanks

For sure, otherwise v07 would not run.

Nope, same problem with 0.8a
Just V 0.7 works / opens

You're working on the Mac port? Seems I have to wait....

It still would be great if we can find the problem.

can you post a screenshot of your installed drivers ?
right click on desktop, nvidia control panel -> help -> system information.

also post a screenshot of the device manager panel in octane after starting it up. (with v0.81a)
can you see if there is more than 1 video card listed in there ?

Here they are:
Driver, Popup and Device Manager.
The Device Manager is from V0.7 ( You remember, I can not open Octane 0.8 :-) )
Both Graphic Cards are shown and the GTX285 is checked
