just a heads up

Spent a couple days troubleshooting, without luck, even with SESI's patient support to get H16 to launch.

Running latest Ubuntu with latest Nvidia drivers 378.13

Solved the issue. Downgraded my Nvidia driver to 375.39

arrrgh Nvidia drivers!!!

Same here but, at least in my case, performances are terrible: a simple grid with 800*800 divisions is sufficient to “knock out” the view port.
I have tested the two builds (regular and Qt4) on Mint 18 and Centos 6.8 with the same results.
Waiting for new builds I stay with Houdini 15.5

Any solution for this? Running in the same issue with CentOS 72 and Nvidia 378.13. Houdini 15.5 runs fine, 16.0 won't launch.

Does it vanish during launch without any logs ? ( if started from bash )
I have a similar issue, but for me it is a qt5 problem.
It works with the qt4 version for me.
