Hello
I installed Maya 2020 and houdini-18.5.578-win64-vc141 some days ago. The Engine plugin for Maya was running fine.
But today when starting Maya , I got this message in the script editor:
// Automatically starting Houdini Engine server using named pipe.
// Error: HARC: Timed out waiting on the server ready event //
// Houdini Engine failed to initialize.
When I try to lead an *hdalc file, I get this message :
// Error: Could not load OTL file: D:/Users/path/filename.hdalc //
// Error: //
So now I installed houdini-py3-18.5.581-win64-vc141.exe . Same problem.
Any clue?
Thanks

Problem solved. I think the problem happened because I never started the newly installed Houdini before starting Maya and the Houdini Engine plugin. I was too in a hurry.
BTW on this PC, Hou starts in almost 2 minutes. It's REALLY a slow PC that I intend to upgrade so please don't hit me on the head.
