I just installed Houdini 11.0.504 for win32 and when I start Houdini i got the following error message, and Houdini can't be open.

3404: Fatal error: Segmentation Fault

Saving application data to CDOCUME~1/Hopez/LOCALS~1/Temp/Hopez.3404.hip


Can anybody help me on this problem?

Thanks!

I guess it could be a graphic driver issue. I think you should provide professionals more info about your system.

I got a segmentation fault error on startup too on my notebook, and i solved it reinstalling laptop vendor official graphic drivers (downgrading from ATI's new ones).

Hi,

I'm getting this issue too. I have run previous versions (10 I think) of Houdini without problems.
The splash screen of Houdini master shows but then Houdini console pops up with “2224: Fatal error: Segmentation Fault

Saving application data to …”

The number before fatal error seems to vary each time.

not sure if this will help, but here's my crash log:

Well the only possible solution suggested to me was downgrading my graphics drivers but I wasn't prepared to do this. Hopefully this will get fixed in Houdini some day soon; until then I'm running this version on Linux on the same machine without problems.

I think I have the same problem. I have installed on

Windows Vista machine, with
Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 graphics card,
4x Intel Xeon Processors,
4 GB Ram

Can't get past the splash screen without

“####: Fatal Error: Segmentation Fault”

I read about the potential for graphics card issues and upgraded to the newest driver (no change), then downgraded to a 1-year-old driver (no change).

Any help would be appreciated.

So I was trying to install 11.0.504 for win64 and I was getting the hang-up at the splash screen and wasn't able to get any further. I rolled back to 10.0.595 and it works. I'd recommend the roll-back to anyone else having this problem.

The older release is available under the Support Menu at sidefx.com.

Cheers
