Can you please explain better?
Which nodes do you connect?
Where? Node editor?
LV has any rendering? Open or closed?

Same thing happening in this pic before the crash. Nodes not showing as connected but are in the slots:

It's immediately crashing as i opened. I think there is a cross-linking in your scene. Did you remember how you connected? Any interesting info to share?

Yes I probably connected things up in a loop, because as the pic shows the linking is not actually being displayed and looks like things are not connected when they actually are.

If you explain the steps how did you made this looping, i can try to add some methods for avoiding these?

Look at the picture I sent.

Can you see that the nodes are connected in the attribute manager, but not in the graph. Even without the crash this is the problem ( I kept making connecitons because they would not connect in the graph so probably make a loop of some sort but no idea what).

OK so it seems that connections will not be displayed in the NE unless the nodes are connected to an Octane material upstream first.

Create any two nodes except an Octane material. Try to connect them. Nothing.

Now connect the rightmost (furthest upstream) node to any Octane material parameter.

Suddenly all the downstream connections appear.

not good.

That's an editor which is wrote from scratch. So every operation is done by my codes. This means that's not easy task to do something seems basic to user. I'm gonna try to fix when i find problems but no promise for anythings.

It was working fine before?
