hoopbuddy Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 You're better off posting this on the Side Effects forum, so they can fix the bug, if it's a bug. It could be your graphics card though, if it's got old drivers or is unsupported. COPs2 is kind of unstable right now though, which is a separate issue...

Lukich Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 That's the error message I get every time my Houdini crashes - for various reasons (I don't even use COPs). I guess it's a bug... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 If you are on support, best to send an example file or a description of the repeatable problem on to support. If this is apprentice, then send it to the apprentice forum. A segmentation fault is also known as a core or core dump. This is generally caused by uninitialized or garbage memory that is created and/or used by Houdini or other applications. Generally if houdini seg faults, it is houdini's fault. If you get a blue screen of death, that is generally an OS Windows problem (graphics drivers like to do this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepyboy Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 i solve the problem by changing my opengl setting for my display card...... as my option for "multi-display hardware acceleration" has set wrongly. so far didn't get any error, when i re-cook inside COPs thanx guys!!
