This error happens with the last test versions based on Blender 2.79.

1) Whenever you try to load specular-materials (try water) you wont see anything.
It seems there are some issues while importing all data from the liveDB.

2) Using the lifeDB needs some minutes to go. "Server is refreshing liveDB" is the message and appears with every start of BlenderOctane. The refreshing process sometimes needs >10 minutes! Frustrating.

3) Using your last build 15.1 is not possible as it crashs and crashs. Just tryed to add a new specular-shader to a mesh -> crashs! (Sometimes it works).

a. Win10 64bit
b. 1080ti
c. 32GB
d. 3.13.1.30
f. last testbuilds based on 2.79

Hi dafassi,

Thanks for your report and sorry for the inconvenience.
I've reproduced the crash and the investigation is under way.

I just ran into this issue as well yesterday. Liquid materials downloaded from DB didn't seem to be rendering but if I made my own specular material it worked.

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience.
The crash issue will be fixed in the next release.
