I used Octane 2019 to do a project but when I send it to a render farm which is Octane 2020 the render stucks and only render the first frame.

How can I make my scene work in 2020?

Thanks in advance

Better information would be great to help you!
Can you render the scene in your pc?

I installed 2020 in my PC and I got the same problem, render stucks on frame 01.

I then downgrade to 2019 and it works flawlessly

Delete some materials until it work. It's for detecting what causes this. Probably you have c4d shaders

@aoktar I'm using only Octane Materials with a lot of Mix Materials. No C4d shaders

1-Check for errors in CONSOLE window
2-Apply same procedure if you don't see any errors.

Here's a trick that often works for these sorts of problems:
Start with a new, empty 2020 project and use "Merge Project" to add the 2019 scene to it.
If that doesn't work:
Start with a new, empty 2020 project. Open the 2019 project, select all, then copy/paste the entire contents into the 2020 scene.

Great! But this is still a mystery why happen. Could you be kind enough to share your scene for testing, please?
