I subscribed to OctaneVR and Blender Octane Edition a couple of days ago. I had no problems with the installation. Everything works as intended.
Except Octane Server. I'm supposed to start Octane Server before opening Blender Octane Edition.
So I do that and it works, Blender renders with Octane but only for around 30 seconds or so. After that, the render suddenly stops and the Octane Server icon in the system tray also disappears. Now Blender tells me " Server Error | Error in Render-server at address"" "
I have to open Octane Server again and Blender is able to render with Octane but for a minute at most. Then it shuts down.
It once threw me this:

Octane VR Standalone Edition works without problems.

My specs are:
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
GeForce GTX 970 (updated 369.09)

Please help me. And happy new year!

You are using an old version. This bug was fixed in recent versions. The actual version is 11.20.

Thank you! The 3.05 versions are not available in the downloads page for me.
I downloaded Octane Server and Blender Octane Edition 3.05 from this forum thread:

Edit: I found the standalone installer in this thread:

This is not a VR version.

I guess my question now is: is there a 3.05 VR version at all?

Can you link us to OctaneVR Server 11.20 and Blender OctaneVR 11.20?

The download page finally let me download the latest versions. No more Octane server crashing with 11.20. Thank you!

I finally managed to get the new versions as well, but I am still getting server crashes.


This is what it tells me on top of the live render view:

Code: Select all

Server error | Error in Render server at address "127.0.0.1"
I then look at the system tray and I will see OctaneVR Server v11.20 disappearing.
