Recently on iRender system, there are many cases of Octane users cannot render as the plugin just freezes or loads forever. This is a very frustrating error that happens not only with Octane users on our system, but also many other users on their own local machine. In this article, let’s see how to fix OctaneRender suddenly freezes issue.

It can stop working, or crash the software, or doesn’t proceed the work at all and just stucks at updating or loading.

This issue happens only on Windows 10, and it’s due to Nvidia new studio driver 555.xx not compatible with Octane. To fix this, you have to roll back to previous version, wait for the fix from Nvidia.

The Nvidia studio driver compatible and recommended is version 552.22. You can use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) from guru3d.com to uninstall your installed drivers clean, before setting up any. This is the solution from OTOY. Many people have tried it, and it worked.

Then the system will create it for you. When connect, you will see the machine has driver 552.22 and/or the DCC software pre-installed. Kindly install your own Octane to continue using.
