I had a somewhat crash-y .hip file, and now houdini hard crashes every time I open it, the error I'm getting on the console is 2724: fatal error: segmentation fault. running windows 7 pro
I read through the forums and someone suggested backing up all your prefs and trashing the houdini15.xx folder in the $HOME directory, in users\USER\documents\ which worked; then I copied all my nodes over to a fresh scene (thats what I usually do in maya to fix this type of issue) and that has worked in the past but now it is crashing again. So it is something in the prefs
The issue is that I am not nearly as familiar with the prefs in houdini as maya and I have an uncountable amount of presets, permanant defaults for almost every node, tons of hotkeys, custom shelves, galleries, toolsets, custom HDA's, custom python menus you name it. I know a lot of this is stored in the houdini install directory but does anyone have any insight as to what preferences might be the most likely culprit and how to restore the ones I need? I'm not really sure what each file does
I can't go back versions either, they are all now corrupted, so it makes sense that it would be something buried in the preferences I just have way too much stuff to just trash them all
Thanks guys
