hi everyone ,

i was working on a long session with H13.0.251 .

everything stable and fast .. i was in a good mood too ..

then .. something or somewaht mentioning “ Pools , Events , Queue & Co ” ( ! )

i have meet that before too . so , i saved the scene .

tried to reopen Houdini but failed . tried restarting my pc and latter Hou again .. and again failed .



anyone has had a similar experience and resolved it ?? ( Win 7 x64 )

any suggestion is appreciated since time is pretty precious these days for me ..


!thanks

i found the culprit !

might be the same for any crashes on Linuks too .

not sure .

havent installed yet there .



!thanks

And what was it?

i found the culprit !

And what was it?

display.pref in cooperation with display_options.pref.

=============================================

yesterday , i started to hunt for the file .

deleted one .. started Hou .. crash !

deleted another one .. started Hou .. crash !

.. and so arrived at display_options.pref .

once i deleted it , i had access to Hou .

in order to give you a more detailed reply , today i continued few other tests .

i noticed that deleting display.pref and left display_options.pref , Hou starts fine .

when both ( mentioned above ) old config files are being read by Hou , i get crash .

( you'll find those attached )

test i did today was done in build_260

——————–

i know my situation is hard to reproduce , ( described in 1st post ) but i hope to see this thing fixed , since it simply has to do with display configuration files .

till then , hope my solution wd spare time , nerves and full config_dir's back-up and restore procedure to someone in future , which might be even useless as in my case .

=============================================

– thank you for showing interest halfdan !



.cheers
