Hi so I am back here to complain

I am still trying to get LightWave 2018 working with the Octane_3.08.0.9

Now when I try to render or load IPR I see this:

What (the heck) is going on now??

maybe not updated to the latest CUDA, as required?

Where would I change that?

I can switch to Lightwave 2015 and everything works swell.

PS This is the 2018.3 that was released last week.

Yes, probably you need to update the NVIDIA drivers to the latest ones available. What do you get if you open the GPUs configuration in the plugin options panel? Can you see any GPU there?

Yes, the problem is probably that you don't have the right NVIDIA drivers on your system. Please, go to nvidia.com, download the latest drivers version for your GPU and install them.

Hi Juanjo.

I have downloaded the most recent drivers from NVIDIA. Unfortunately I am still getting that error. LightWave 2018 only.
Do you have any other suggestions as to why this might be happening?

Hmm, and in LW2015 or using the Standalone can you see your GPUs? Perhaps, there is a problem with the latest NVIDIA drivers ... I'll check it out.

Thanks!

Yah 2015 works fine, as does the benchmark & standalone.

So I a feel a little baffled, also this only happened with the third release of 2018.0.3 (build 3066) (Win64) 29-Mar-2018 .

Well, after a lot of tests here I can't understand how it is possible. Are you sure that you are using the same plugin version in LW2015 and LW2018, the latest 3.08.0.9 one, for example? I'm testing the plugin here using LW 2018.0.3 and the GPUs are there, as expected.

Thanks,
