Hallo,

Last week everything was working within the "normal acceptable standard, today, I arrive at the office and I can't render anything, it freezes completely, the only thing that happened during the weekend was a Win update,that I uninstalled, but keeps freezing the video....


anyone else having this problem?

Hi samsue,
Windows build?
Nvidia driver version?

Definitely something related to Win updadte, sincerely my patience with these things is reaching its limit...

I uninstalled the uptades of win, now works again, the same problem occurred in my Worksation at home, on the same day...

but it's my fault...

rule number 1 in our profession: if it's working, don't update and don't change anything, great chances of giving problems.

Hi samsue,
sometimes windows update conflicts with installed Nvidia drivers, it is not attributable to Octane.

yea yea i now

it must be terrible for developers to have to develop something that is constantly hindered by Nvidia and Win but on the user's side it's frustrating

I had great problems installing the ultiam version of Win and nvidia driver I had to format the PC at the end

After formatting the PC from scratch, I used the DDU to clean the nvidia driver installed by windows and installed the following driver;
But you seem to have some problem with Open GL and I had to dowload a cuDNN file...

can you give me a hand with that?

Which OpenGL drive do I have to download?

Did I download the right Nvidia drive?

Hello samsue,
I'm testing 456.38 studio version and it seems to be ok wiht my RTX

Said that try as follow:
1 Updates windows 10 up to at least build 1909 or 2004.
2 Right click the Start button and select Control Panel.
3 Make your way to System and Security.
4 Click System.
5 Click Advanced system settings from the left sidebar.
6 Select the Hardware tab.
7 Press the Device Installation Settings button.
8 Choose No, and then press the Save Changes button.
9 Unistall the Nvidia drivers using DDU Nvidia unistaller drivers (**safe mode unistall** - [windows safe mode](https://support.microsoft.com/it-it/hel ... -safe-mode))
10 install the Nvidia driver "studio driver". Please doesn't install GeForce Experience and make a clean installation.

Having some trouble downloading, you can download the cuDNN library from the following link:
https://render.otoy.com/downloads/e5/c5 ... nn64_7.dll
Then place it in C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\OctaneRender\thirdparty\cudnn_7_4_1"

The problem was Forest Pro. Actually it's not ForesPro, I think it's when you start using out-of-core, everything starts to go wrong.
