Heightmap UDIM output

I'm using a heightfield_output node, and I have “Divide into tiled maps” enabled, however it does not seem to work. No image is output and it never loads a status box. If I dive into the cop2net1 inside the heightfield_output, I see an error: “Cook Error in input: window1”

I'm using Houdini 16.5.496, and according to the changelogs:
Houdini 16.5.198 Fixed tiled output on Heightfield Output.

So presumably tiled output should work… Turning off Tiling does export a map.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Is this a bug, or something I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Update: If you are using EXR, make sure to use ‘Deep Raster’ for Output Type. That resolved my issue with exporting the UDIM tiles. However now I am running into an issue where my all of my channels are blank, except the height and bedrock channels. It writes the channels fine without tiling.

Any suggestions?
