It's only happening with the 'Azure' latest build.

Are you sure ? I did this test:

1) download https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCor ... opencl.zip and unzip;

2) run luxcoreui

3) load scenes/cornell/cornell.cfg

4) press "1" (to use PATHOCL)

5) it uses 12 threads on my 6 cores+hyper-threading with a 100% CPU load.

Can you post the output log in the luxcoreui console ?

More tests done. LuxCore engine works fine.
I think (but am not sure anymore) the issue lies in the addon.

1. NOT WORKING - Export with addon from 25.10.2018 fails in using CPU OCL (even, if i set it (1) in 'render.cfg').
2. WORKING - Export with addon from 03.10.2018 works fine.
Logs + 'broken' export attached. & Investigating further...

I've the same problem here ( have to render 2K interior with only poor R9 390 can't use the power of the i7 80700k ). So what do we do to solve it ?

is there any recent build that fix the low CPU usage ?

It is a BlendLuxCore problem so it can not be solved with a new binary. As a work around, you can export (in text format) the scene and render using luxcoreui (for high-res, you can use image view mode). Before to run the rendering, you will have to edit the render.cfg file and delete the line including the string "native.threads.count = 0" (or set the number to the right number of threads).

It's a bug recently introduced in the addon. But I didn't have time to fix it yet.
