Hi everybody,

how can I run multiple instances of Houdini on a Windows 7 system? Everytime I try to launch a second instance, Houdini is crashing with a “Segmentation Fault fatal error”. I tried using cmd as well as the standard desktop icon.

Thanks a lot.

Dunno about win7, but it works on win8 for me. Also I dont know if the Nvidia drivers are the same for quadro and their gaming cards - but there is an issue between drivers 307-321 that cause Houdini to crash (I noticed in your signature you have 311 - again, might be different for the quadro).

Maybe you are right. Unfortunately I can't update my graphics driver for the moment, so I switched from GL3.2 to GL2.1 in the Houdini settings. It's working with simultaneous instances. Thank you very much.

I've found a way to update my Nvidia drivers correctly. Now it's possible to start multiple instances with gl 3.x viewport settings. Thanks.
