Live Viewer suddenly stopped updating automatically C4D

Hello,

I have an issue since yesterday.
I was working on a scene, and the live viewer stopped updating automatically when I changed materials or other stuff. It's updating only the camera movement, but NOTHING ELSE, except of course if I relaunch the render by hitting the render button.

Since, I installed the latest update of octane for C4D; restarted my computer. Still having the issue.

The weirdest thing is that it happened like that, out of the blue.

Please help!

Thanks

Also, it's not happening on a specific scene only.
It's happening with every scene now.

Ok thanks to a friend I found the solution to my problem.
It appears that I accidentally deactivated the "check geometry update" button in the live viewer window (this little fucker)

Now it's working as it should

Problem solved !

Maybe a good time by the way to make a change in the UI and make the difference between the "ON" and "OFF" state slightly more visible?

I agree, I have fallen into this particular trap before, and it took quite some time to troubleshoot it since the icon difference is so subtle.

I don't think I have this button. Where is it?
