Hi Guys,

I have downloaded a copy of H14.0.201.13 and can't get it to work on my Windows machine.

So far my steps have been
1) Open Houdini
2) Try to create a box (or anything at obj level)
3) Houdini instantly crashes with the following error.

I am on Windows 8, 64 bit.

Any thoughts what it could be?

thanks!

Try renaming your houdini14.0 directory. Looks like there's a bug with that particular shelf file that you should submit?

Thanks for the reply Edward. No dice sadly.

I even tried emptying the shelf file entirely, and that had no effect…

If you're using Intel graphics, you need a very recent driver version (at least 10.18.10.3958). Older drivers, often direct from the laptop manufacturer, aren't stable enough to run Houdini 14.

If you're not running that config, what graphics card and driver version do you have?

Thanks, twod!

It was indeed an out of date Intel Driver.

I have updated my Intel to 10.18.10.3958, and all is hunky-dory now.
