OTOY Forums

Hello,
I am desperate for a solution here. This has been going on for a long time, over a week of clean installs and hardware testing. Only crashing in Octane. I have seen related issues in other threads with no answers. Feeling pretty worried about this since I can't work longer than 1 - 5 minutes in Octane either in R18 or R19.

Lots of hard crashes with windows 10 blue screen. App freeze, then mouse freeze/system freeze.
Also, lots of red render failures notifications in the IPR.
Always random, always different scenes and situations.
Reinstalled OS, Apps, etc.
I've tried 5 different drivers to no luck, even using clean installs.
Cannot reproduce exact action but usually random crashes within 5 mins.
Very important note- Was working flawless before for a whole month, then this behavior started to happen without touching any updating.

Windows 10
x4 gtx 1080s (driver 384.94) temperature read outs are nice and cool.

Using latest test beta for Cinema 4D R19. 3.07.0 Test3a
Also get same problem in R18 with Octane Version 3.06.04 Standalone, 3.06.2 Cinema 4D plugin

Simple Scene that was used during log, attached.
Thanks so much for any help.

This mirrors my experience.

Bluescreens or reset on Hardware means that's not directly an Octane bug or error.

I narrowed it down to a very specific driver 382.33, that worked for me. I went through well over 10 different drivers. I think the auto Windows Creator's Update of hell screw everything up. It's a shame that you basically have to hack your own computer to block automatic updates on windows 10.
