I am unable to use Houdini due to a GUI problem (visible in the screenshot attached). I had Houdini installed on this PC before and with no issues, but after a certain version (don't know the version but close to 18 release), it just became unusable…
hello I have the same problem. Here is the history of what happened :
- Using Hou v17.5 on Intel Graphics 530, Gigabyte motherboard, everything was fine - Installed Hou v18 (around december 2019) and all hell broke loose. I had the same beautiful GUI as in the pic above. - Houdini support told me Intel graphics is not compatible. So I told myself : should I purchase an Nvidia card? - I had the idea to upgrade the Intel graphics driver around january 2020 - All went well! The GUI was back to normal. - Yesterday I upgraded Intel graphics driver to the latest version. The same day I installed Hou 18.0.380 . NNoooo, the wrecked GUI was back. - I decided to uninstall Intel Graphics driver : wrecked GUI still there. - In device manager > display adapter > driver > uninstall driver : wrecked GUI still there. - Then I wanted to reinstall the Intel driver: a message tells me I can't, I need the Gigabyte driver for Intel VGA. - Gigabyte driver for Intel VGA refuses to install itself, tells me my system does not have the minimum requirement. - Something weird : the app “Intel Graphics Command Center” tells me my driver is from Intel and is up to date, somehow I still have the latest Intel driver. - NNNNOOOOOoooo!!!
I'm thinking about ordering a Nvidia card but is there something else I could do????
Update : yesterday, Intel Driver And Support Assistant installed the newest graphic driver and now all is well. Guess I'm gonna stick to this driver version then
