OTOY Forums

Clicking The IPR button locks up Lightwave and have to use the 'Task Manager" to close it.

It all started when I hooked up a 4th monitor early October. Yes, I should have contacted you but have been down since then. Have you heard anything else from users with 4 monitor setup?

Same result with11.6 Build 2723 (Win64) and 2015.2 (build 2838) (Win64).

F9/F10 works fine.

So, I tried...

Deleting:
C:Users\(name)\AppData\Local\Temp\octren1
C:Users\(name)\.NewTek\Lightwave\(version folder)\(all *.cfg files)
*** A couple of times this worked, but closing LW and re-loading it up again, hangs.

Replacing:
Also tried older versions of Octane 3 for LW, same result.

Removing:
Physically unplugged extra monitors.

Still no JOY...

Tried to attach latest octane log, but the form was not taking it. So i temp put it at http://www.animz.com/octane.log

Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work. Just love it!!! -Mark

only 4 monitors? ...take FIVE!



so i think octane`s lw plug in is not the problem in your case!

Hi,

I think that this problem is not related to your monitors at all. I've seen it before, but only on OSX and while working with complex scenes. It is something that I must investigate.

Do you have this problem with any kind of scene, or only with complex ones?

Thanks,

If it is the same problem that I'm investigating in OSX, the workaround is to launch the render with F9 (you can cancel the render at any point) before open the IPR window.

Thanks,

Sorry, this is all my fault and on my side. Actually I had added a Window Rule to my Actual Windows Manager to control the Octane IPR Preview Window. So this has nothing to do with Octane Lightwave.

Also, have been away from the computer for quite a while.

Thank you so much for all your hard work! -Mark

P.S. Please more volumetrics and fire example full scenes for us...
