Hello all! I am getting really frutrated everytime I jump on Octane lately. I just seem to have endless driver issues, drop outs when connected to the server. I feel like I am spending more time fixing octane then using the render engine. Due to this I am finding myself using it less and less. I was really excited about discovering this render engine but the the joy is slowly being ripped away because of endless trouble shooting. Any tips or trick to fix this? I am also paying for the premimuim version...

If you had to pick one thing you want to get better at in Blender Octane right now, what would it be? Comment with your answer: - Lighting - Materials - Render setup - Post effects - Scene building

First image is my render. Second is the reference photo. This is a fun experiment I like doing trying to match a real photo as closely as possible. It pushes me every time. I’ll be doing more of these for sure.
