Octane just closes whenever I delete a geometry node.

[arexma]

I am growing a beard here

I had to change some geometry and it is a rather high poly scene (3.7mio faces).
So naturally loading takes some time.

If I pause the engine and delete the node octane closes.
If I load the new geometry and delete the old node, octane closes.
If I disconnect all materials and delete the node octane closes.
If I load the new geometry, rewire all nodes and try to delete the old node - octane closes.

I doubt I´ll save all nodes, make a new scene, import new geometry and reload all nodes - I would expect to be able to ram new geometry into an existing project.
Am I doing it wrong or is it a bug?

Just tried it in .241

Node'b'gone, load new one, save, back to .242.

[x] Bug

[kubo]

it's been noted in the release thread. And yeap it only happens in 2,42 not in any prior version, but I think that Abstrax said that he found the lemming that was causing it so expect it to be fix

[arexma]

awww. and i thought i finally get to report a bug
Bad luck, for what I know the dev team it´s fixed by now already too =P

Anyways, I started to go with, what we here call politically incorrect "the russian method", and simply overwrite the .obj as I only had to tweak some geometry and left materials untouched.

[kubo]

sometimes I think they just go out of their way to create some bugs so we can have fun hunting them down, 'cause as you said most of the time they are fixed even before someone points the out

Sorry for the trouble, but it will be fixed with pre-beta 2.43. It was a problem I introduced with the fix of another crash bug...

For removing the node you can use version pre-beta 2.41 instead and then continue working with pre-beta 2.42. Having two versions on your hard drive does no harm
