I get a “5440: Fatal error: segmentation fault” everytime i switch from one view to four views. When I switch to two views it's fine, but three or four, it gives me this error and crashes. What should i do.

Hi,

It will help greatly if you can provide more information about your graphics card, what operating system you're running and the version of Houdini you're running.

Welcome to the forum!

Cheers!

:arrow: I'm using Windows xp professional. Houdini version 9.0.719. I use an hp laptop with a “Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family” and i've changed the rendering to software rendering in houdini. I also have 512mb ram. 8)

Unfortunately, this is a known problem with H9 when using the software drivers (bug #27510). Could you try removing your HOUDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE environment variable and then trying it again?

When I remove software rendering i get another crazy error which is the genrator_thread thing. My laptop probably doesn't support hardware rendering. I saw it in the FAQ.

I tried it now and it works fine with the software rendering. I don't know why last time it went all crazy. (*UPDATE* a minute after writing this post i got the error again)
