Hello everyone,

I have been getting the error Fatal error: Segmentation Fault every so often from when I first open Houdini to after I have been working for a while. I google search yelled suggestions such as updating graphic card drivers to deleting preference files. So far I have

Deleted prefrence files
Uninstalled Houdini and installed the latest version of apprentice
Updated graphics card drivers
Switched to H11 3d viewport Scene renderer

My system specs are

Window 7 64bit
Core i7 K875
16 GB Ram
Radeon HD 6800
Driver Version 8.961.0.0
1TB Drive w/ 430GB free

Any suggestions?

How often does it crash when you first open Houdini? Rough idea of 1 in X times? Do you have other OpenGL/3D applications opened at the same time when this happens? What does your generated crashlog (in %TEMP%) look like when you get these crashes?

Hi , try install older Catalyst v12.1. It works best for me with Radeon HD 6950 in GL 3.2 mode and no crashes so far
i had Segmentation Fault in empty scene though with GL 2.1 mode, so i don't use this mode.

It dose not crash on start up to often. It mostly happens when I interact with the node view. Here is a copy of the crash log.

I wouldn't expect that but your crashes do happen in innocuous graphics related code, so it might be due to drivers.
