C4D R16 constant crashing w/ Octane

I'm getting constant crashes whenever I turn off a layer in C4D with the live viewer open. Sometimes it crashes just C4D, sometimes the whole machine goes down. I have 32gb of RAM in Mac Pro dual Xeon 2.26 (early 2009).

I just did a fresh install of C4D R16 16.050 and Octane 3.06.2. I'm on Mac OS 10.11.6 and I have a Nvidia GTX980 with CUDA 8.0.83 and the Nvidia web driver 346.03.15f08. The crashes are still happening though.

I've attached the bug report txt file.

Please help! :)

What do you have on sky objects?

I have an OctDiffuse texture on the Sky object.

What kind of texture do you have on material? Try without it.

Thanks for you help, @aoktar! :)

Just tried that, it still crashes when I have the Live Viewer Window open and option-click the layer visibility of one of the layers. The issue is repeatable on machine and deleting the material from the Sky object didn't fix it.

Could you send this scene and description how do you produce?

Sure, it's attached.

1. Open the Live Viewer Window for Octane in C4D
2. Option-click the visibility of the layer highlighted in green (neon lights’ layer) and set to off (both dots red) (see attached screenshot), C4D will crash every time.

Thanks for scene! Here's a video how i tried to reproduce in a osx machine. I could not get it. Tell me if you do somethings different.

You're not Option-clicking the neon lights layer, you're just clicking it. If you Option-click it, both dots change at the same time.

However, it doesn't appear to be crashing on your system. If it still doesn't crash when you Option-Click, what else can I do?

Maybe we can meet and I can share my screen?
