"Freeze" Problem using C4D fields and volume mesher

Hello all,

I have quite a simple scene with a sphere as a volume mesh and some fields deforming it. I am trying to export 500 frames of animation out of it.

I have this strangest problem where my render will get stuck on my scene at random frames. No crash at all, just GPUS going idle in the middle of render until I alt-tab back on the application and the rendering resumes... Usually happens in the middle of rendering a frame (not at the beginning or end of it). Happens even if I leave C4D fullscreen working, I need to Alt-Tab to "wake" the render every 5 minutes or so.

Never had this kind of problem before and every other project works like a charm, should be linked to fields / volume mesher somehow as it is the first time I tinker with them. I tried to disable one gpu but the problem persists.

Using Octane Enterprise 4.05 with dual 2080Ti / Windows 10 / AMD Threadripper 2950x

Project is attached.

Fixed it somehow by installing the latest 2020 RC version.
However this is not an option for me as I have bought a perpetual 4.05 Licence long ago...
