sorry for the question I didn't pay attention ...

Yes, the Octane plugin and Houdini versions usually should match. I'll try to release a new 2020.2 plugin build for the latest Houdini production build early next week.

Thanks,

Sorry, there was a problem with the H18.5.672 build. It was compiled against the wrong Octane core version. I'll upload it again ASAP.
