Hi, you can set the environment variable HOUDINI_DISABLE_OPENFX_DEFAULT_PATH to 1; (you may also need to unset OFX_PLUGIN_PATH if that is set.)

Worked like a charm when Redgiant universe plugins kept on crashing houdini on launch, thank you!

That is in fact very funny, seamingly the Redgiant dev team left some code inside their plugins, because my Houdini instance tries to scan for something on the D drive inside a Gitlab folder, which I don't have.

Is this method still working?
I have this line in houdini.env
HOUDINI_DISABLE_OPENFX_DEFAULT_PATH = 1;

And still got this error:


And Houdini is not loading.
Using H21.0.512
