Live Viewer Not Updating Materials

Hi Octane Guru's,

I have a situation where non of my materials are updating when I change material parameters. Even on a small scene with just a simple shader ball. I can not "look dev" and develop any custom materials because the Live Viewer requires me to unplug a node then plug it back in to see any change. This isn't practical when typing in various values for material look development.

I am running windows 7, C4D R16, Octane 3.08

Others on the FaceBook Octane Render page have had the same issue, is there a fix?

Thanks,
Robert.

Can someone answer if they know? I've been stuck for two days now. I found this link but i dont know if this is the latest version of octane because it says "Obsolete" in the title of the page. FYI my octane version is 3.08.
