OTOY Forums

Hey forum!

So I booted up Cinema4D R17 (17.048 latest version) just a few minutes ago and started a new project - no Octane involved at this time, just some modeling - and suddenly Cinema 4D crashed.
First I thought "Ok cool, just the usual Windows thing", but actually it is not. Now every time I try starting up C4D it gets stuck in splashscreen at "Initializing plugins.....".
I tried restarting the app several times now & I also tried restarting my PC, but unfortunately nothing's working.
The next thing I did was to create a backup of my plugins (4 installed in total) and find out what plugin causes Cinema to crash.. guess what - it's Octane (Beta 2)..
Never encountered something similar, Octane never crashed C4D like this. Also I tried installing the Beta 2.1, but that's not working neither.

I am running the latest CUDA drivers 7.5.18 + latest version of Octane Standalone Beta aswell.
GPUs: 2x GTX 970 in SLI (never had any troubles)
OS: Windows 10 Pro

Any ideas? Already asked Google, but I couldn't find anything..


Best regards

Hi MNIB,
weird, so Standalone works as expected, but C4d doesn't start
What happen if you go back to Alpha 6?
Could you sign in in your personal area and check your license status?

You are not exactly the first one with this problem. Did you try this:

I forgot to test that license thingie!

It's working now - thank you guys!
