Broken

The app is apparently damaged and is refuses to open. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but it refused to download.

This is a great idea that's just not ready. In several dozen tries, I've managed 1 render. Most simply display a white/grey screen, with occasionally showing my AMD 555 chip failed. That one render looks great and fuels further attempts, but even the test suggested on the OTOY website will not run. Coupled with the fact that this is an "always on" connection that frequently drops and requires a re-connect before you can use the software and it adds up to one huge disappointment. This needs another six months development time at least.
App open okay but doesn't use any of M1 GPU

Octane X has been renamed to Octane X Classic. I gave it a test run on new macOS Ventura. Render will not start - shows "no render GPUs -/0 MB"". Going in Preferences, shows Apple M1 listed but detailed informations are all blank.
Does not work.
