Most Octane updates don’t matter unless something is broken. If you’re stable, stay put. If you hit one of these bugs, update. That’s the real rule.

If you’ve been lurking, that’s normal. Most people do. Let’s get a little activity going. Reply with ONE of these: • A render you’re working on (finished or not) • A problem you’re stuck on in Blender or Octane • Or just comment “👀 or here” so I know you’re around No pressure. No judging. No critiques unless you ask for it. I’ll reply to every comment.

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...
