Hi

I'm having an issue with my Hackintosh with OSX Sierra v10.12.4; is Octane still incompatible with this version?
Standalone is crashing and saying "cannot be opened because of a problem" and "check with developer if OctaneRender Demo 3.04 works with this version of OSX.."
Octane Bench does not start at all, c4d plugin doesn't show anywhere (c4d R18)..
I've installed NVIDIA Web Driver: 378.05.05.05f01, my GPU is a GTX 1080..

found this in the Log:

Termination Reason: DYLD, [0x1] Library missing

Application Specific Information:
dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries

Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: @rpath/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/CUDA
Referenced from: /Applications/OctaneRender Demo 3.04.app/Contents/MacOS/octane_demo
Reason: image not found

Thanks for helping

Install Cuda8.0 or newer one.

Hi Aoktar,

thanks! that helped to open Octane Standalone and the plugin, even if Bench says "No supported GPU found";
but never mind! i benched directly from C4D plugin to test the system and my new GPU (1080 mini).
I found out that Octane does not show at all the usage and temps on the Live Viewer of the GPU,
neither does XRG stats monitor app, while iStat detects full usage.. in fact is actually working at its full,
here's the results rendering a scene of mine with 3 different cards:

Zotac GTX 1080 mini - 01':24’’ - (OSX - SIERRA v10.12.4 - Latest CUDA and NVIDIA drivers)
Asus Strix GTX 980ti - 01':43’’ - (WIN10)
Gigabyte GTX 1070 - 01':49’’ - (WIN10)

And last test (with pretty weird result):

Zotac GTX 1080 mini - 02':13'' - (WIN10 - same exact computer as the OSX, just booted in Windows)
that's strange... with OSX works way better, and in Win10 was not using more than 92% of GPU.
