OTOY Forums

This past week whenever I try to render out an image sequence Octane and C4d will randomly crash partway through the render, sometimes 5-10 frames in, sometimes 80-100, but it has failed the last several renders I have tried. I first had the AI denoiser on, then tried turning it off, but it was still happening. The renders were 4K so I thought it might have been too large or something, but it happens at smaller sizes too, and it doesn't look like I'm close to running out of VRAM or memory as far as I can tell. I've attached a bug report and octane log from the last failed render.

I am using a 980 ti and a 1080 ti hybrid, 32 GB RAM, I installed Octane 4.05-R7 and I've currently got the Nvidia 436.48 driver installed. I wasn't able to grab a console screenshot because I didn't have it up when I got the crash notification. Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide.

Thanks

It happened again and I was able to grab a console screenshot as well, see below

Please, perform a clean installation of 431.86 Nvidia Studio driver:

I performed a clean installation, but now my 980ti is no longer recognized by my computer, it just sees the 1080ti... After doing a little research it looks like the 980ti may not supported by the Nvidia Studio drivers. Do you have any other ideas? I'll try the most recent game driver 440.97 and see if that works.

Please try to go back to 419.67 for 980 Ti:

I actually updated to 440.97 before I saw your comment and one of the renders that was crashing before seems to be fine now, so hopefully things are all better. Also my 980ti is recognized again. I'll try that other driver if it starts crashing like before. Thanks!

I may have spoken too soon on this one. One of my renders worked fine, but I am still getting crashing partway through another project file, but this time I seem to be getting an "out of memory" error on one of my cards based on the log and console (see attached). I'll try the older version of the driver and see if that helps, but I am confused about the memory issue, as it looks like there should be plenty for my scene.

Ok, after doing a clean install of 419.67, I was able to render the project that was crashing before without issues. Hopefully it stays that way!
