Getting this error code after upgrading to latest Houdini and Octane.


*** OCTANE API ERROR: OptiX API error: Internal error
*** OCTANE API ERROR: OptiX error for device 0: [DEVICECTX] Error initializing RTX library
*** OCTANE API ERROR: OptiX API error for device 0: Internal error
*** OCTANE API ERROR: device 0: failed to create OptiX context
*** OCTANE API ERROR: device 0: failed to initialize context
*** OCTANE API ERROR: device 0: failed to initialize render thread 00000001FF6DF2A0

Any idea what could be the cause?

Hey there!
I'd need some more information!
What GPU are you on? What drivers?
What version did you update from (houdini and octane)?
When did this error pop-up? Immediately when using the IPR? Or was there something that triggered it?
Does the render still work or did it break it?
First thing I would try is update GPU drivers.
