Hi everyone,
I'm playing times to times with Houdini apprentice (the free one), on a winXp32.
I was using the 249 build and everything was fine, but one day, the region render did not work anymore.
Ererytime I use it, the console open up and says :

IMG_TileWrite::socketWrite: No such file or directory
mantra: Error writing data to image device

I've uninstalled houdini, installed the 401 build, but it's always the same.

I'm really a noob and I got no idea about what I can do.

Thx

Hi,

Same here, Win 7 .64 build 7100, Houdini 10.0.424.
If anybody knows how to solve it, let us know, please.

I'm not logging this as a bug, because I can't check it on a different machine/setup/windows ver - might be as well win 7 pre-release bug.

Thanks,
Greg

Hi

Ive had the same issue since i started using houdini a couple months ago. I never found a solution. I have a feeling its my hardware/drivers. Otherwise the render region never works for me, and when it does it renders a tiny part and stops.

Hi,

I've checked the forum, and it seems that two common factors are “Windows - XP, Vista, 7” and “x64”. Has ANYBODY had this problem on x86/32 bit windows?

Same here…just cant use if I cant render nothing. Look that MilWatt use XP32, s I dont think is a problem with win7/64, I am using here the RC yet too. Some idea about what we can do?? My message says:

IMG_TileWrite::socketWrite: No error
mantra: Error writing data to image device
No licenses could be found to run this application.
Please check for a valid license server host

Same problem here (Win 7 64Bit), the only thing I can do is open the task manager, kill the process “mantra.exe” and hope it works for the next couple of renders.

Has anyone found the solution?

it could be related to a firewall settings or an anti-virus software:
