Very slow and crashes with VIZPARK textures

Hi there :)

I just bought Octane for C4D, after a strong suggestion of a friend, Lucio Liberi.

I'm doing a work for VIZPARK, making VP Walls shaders for C4D (AR, Vray, Octane and Corona).

I'm having strong issues loading those textures with the appropriate Octane shader. Cinema often hangs for a long time and most of the times it becomes unresponsive, so I have to close it with task manager. I'm on Windows 7 64 bit, fully updated, and C4D R16, updated to 050.

Lucio is on Mac OS X 10.9 and R17 and has the same problem.

These textures are 4000x4000, so not so big.

I'm on a EVGA GTX 980 Ti.

With the normal C4D bitmap loader everything seems fine.

I even re-done the jpgs importing them in Lightroom and then Exporting them with 80% quality and sRGB profile.

What am I doing wrong?

2.25 R3?
What happen when you disabled opengl previews from Live Viewer menu?
What kind of material setup do you use?

I was not using at all the live viewer. Just creating/applying materials.

It's a glossy material, with latest plugin version, 2.25 R3.

Thank you for prompt answer!

Seems much faster. When I apply the material I see it almost immediately.

Any hangs or deadlock?

Of course. The parameter is for that. But can't get the answer yet.

Yes sorry. No hangs at the moment or slowdowns.

Thanks! It seems related with opengl previews. Switching down the texture preview size may help in case. I need to check somethings at tomorrow. Btw can you try with V3-Alpha6?
