Photon Tracer weird flickering

Hello,

I was up trying the new render method photon tracer with Octane 2022.1 in Cinema 4D.
I really wanted to try a few things and watched this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8DP43qsuNM and
noticed that my rendering does weird stuff while solving the caustics. I attached a screen capture.

For me it looks like a bug or some driver issue.

It's a bug only if it qualifies as one, via troubleshooting, reproducibility, etc.

It seems to just be coherent ratio being increased to maximum.
Setting it back to 0 (default value) should produce the expected result.

I'm not a video content creator "tutorial" type of person, if you don't mind reading, I've written an Octane Caustics Guide, from PT, PMC to Photon Tracing. Nearly everything is covered.

Oh... Your are right. I didn't noticed I changed it. I thought it was at default.
Thank you very much!
