Just wondering if there is a way to increase stability on OsX, now GL is almost completely stable. Overall it's pretty good but thought I'd throw it out there too.

I'm sending in the crash bugs via the pop-up dialog, and running the latest Os. Would anything else help? i.e. running Houdini on the build Os 10.10.x instead 10.11.x etc.

i.e. a sample crash adjusting the biped auto rig control scale.

The best thing to do is to still submit hip files with reproducible steps.

Thanks Edward - would be interesting to see what the average uptime is on the most stable system, as a comparison.

I've been fairly pleased on how stable it is on my Hackinosh. GTX780, 32gram, 4.3ghz i7 quad core, running Yosemite 10.10.3

Is there a means in the software to time how long it runs in a session?
