Houdini 17 crashing constantly


Recommended Posts

Hey there, I have a problem with Houdini 17, after I open it and start to work it crashes. It's doing this each time I try to work. I was working on Houdini 16.5 QT4 and all was working correctly, but now that I want to test vellum and new features, I can't because Houdini isn't working. I have a MSI GL62 6QD, all my drivers are okay, I disabled Nahimic features, and I don't know what I can do to work with H17. 

I have i5 6300 HQ, 8 Go Ram, Gtx 950M, 1 To HDD, Windows 10 64 Bit.

I would guess it is your hardware. That is a fairly low end system for Houdini. According to nVidia specs, Windows 10 is not certified for that video card.

There is also this on the SideFX supported graphics card page for mobile graphics cards such as the gtx950M.

I'm getting constant crashes too in H17. If I hit tab to lay down a node houdini crashes to desktop without any logs. Quite surprised by this!  H 16.5 is fine on my rig.

 

i7 6950X 128GB ram. 4x 1080 gpu Win 10 pro

Rig mainly runs maya, Max vray and redshift. It's clean and was rebuilt a couple months ago. Used DDU and wiped my nvidea drivers. Running the latest and greatest.

thoughts?

I just disabled Nahimic at start and it seems to work, I run a quick sim and I could work nicely. It looks like it was this thing which was in conflict with the gpu, but seems to be fixed now.

Sometimes GPU is conflicted with audio features (like Nahimic) and it makes the gpu crash. What is your motherboard ?

I have no idea what Nahimic is and or how to disable it.

Nahimic is a "audio enhancer" on MSI Laptops, and sometimes it mess with the gpu and makes Houdini crash (it tries to make sound out of the 3d space in Houdini). It may come from this, try to disable your audio enhancer and see if it works. Did you contact SideFX to fix the problem ? Never heard that from Asus stuff.

Houdini 17 (both production and daily build) crashes upon opening preferences dialogue. Oddly enough, opening fairly complex scene doesn't seem to cause it to crash. This is what it says when it starts:

Since Windows updated to 1809, Houdini 17.0.352 is constantly crashing for me as well. Seems to be UI related. Latest NVidia driver. OpenCL in Houdini no longer recognizes my GPUs anymore either.

Hey, sorry for late reply.

Unfortunately I didn't, since it is my home computer I didn't bother too much. All I do is to apply all the updates to the system and hope for the best.

I have no issues with it at work (Fedora 26).

I am by no means a linux expert but I somewhat suspect latest nvidia driver to be the culprit ( 410.73 ).

Hi, I´m having a similiar problem, after working for a few seconds Houdini freezes and doesn´t respond.

Tested with production and daily build.  How can I get a log to see what the problem is?

I just created an account here, to confirm this issue with my MSI G63 stealth thin. 


I had continously crashes after minutes, using Houdini, without any warning. 
I am using Houdini H17 and keep updating it to the dayly build but nothing worked. 
After deleting the Nahimic driver, I can use Housini for hours without any crashes so far.

Thank you very much for you information DonRomano, it was very frustrating suffering from this crashes for weeks now.

Hey, late reply but I was getting the same issue, I have managed to fix it (so far) by changing my UI size to compact. libUI.dll is related to the UI size in the user preferences. Hope this helps.
