Reason for all that octane crushes (Displacement issue)

Hi Ahmet,

I'll open by mention that i don't know if it is Octane related or plugin side... Anyway i think i found what cause problems and unsuitability in a lot of my projects.
It's all related to Displacement but this is what i think exactly happens:
- Whenever i'm using displacement on intersecting objects, for example sphere with displacement and cube with displacement that some of the polygons are touching each other - i had some kernel crushes / c4d stuck while rendering / c4d crushes and closed during night renders.

Is it make sense somehow? i've tried to isolate the problems and i really think i'm not hallucinating.

You should provide some data to investigate. Otherwise it's words over water. Things you said that's hard to detect or be sure. Requires a lot of testing to be sure with your scenes. It can still a driver, hardware problem.

I understand, any idea how i can monitor it for better testing? If i'll record MSI Afterburner log history it could help somehow?

You should provide a scene which can produce this problem. Best to determine that's occuring on which frame. Because Otoy will ask for a standalone scene to test it. So everything will be easier.
