The Lightwave 2018 and Octane plugin updated problem
did the disable the master plugin for Octane Plugin
updated the .p file from the "Octane_2021.1.5.0_LightWave_2018.0_release_Win64" zip file unzipped
after uninstalling the old version of the plugin, added the new plugin version
tried to enable the plugin but it will not activate
keep getting the error after
pop up I get
pop up I get
All licenses are green and good,

I only have one workstation, and an account from when Otoy first came out

Thank you

Actually My LW 2015 thru 2020 versions are having issues
any help would be appreciated

I did revert my 2020 back to the original .p file it was newer
but all I get is a IPR with a black screen and Updating scene in gpu's
have a 3080 and a 5080, the 5080 is new it worked with the 3080
added the 5080 now I have issues
is the 5080 not compatible ??


thanks

OK
I have LW 2020.0.3 running and Octane I finally active with the RTX3080 selected. runs fine like normal.

If I select the RTX5080 I get an error. So I gather the RTX5080 does not work with Octane?

Is this true?

Thanks Mike
