Hi Team,

We’ve encountered an issue with the latest release of the plugin. When the plugin is first launched, a message regarding data collection appears, requiring the user to either accept or decline.

In our workflow, we extensively use Cinema 4D via the command line on remote machines that operate without a GUI. Unfortunately, this causes a problem as the project fails to load on these machines—likely because the data collection preference hasn’t been set. As a result, the job hangs indefinitely during the loading process.

We kindly request this issue to be addressed in the next release. Our suggestion would be to have data collection disabled by default in headless mode, ensuring seamless operation in such environments.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thank you for reporting this. We will fix it.

The following is a workaround, if you should need it: create an octane_log_flags.txt file in the same folders as octane.dll on the nodes. Inside this file, add just this line: noStatsDontAsk. It should prevent the dialog from trying to show.

Thank you for the quick response! This workaround works for now! :) Glad to see this fixed in next release!
