Hello guys. I cant manage to make redshift work. It suddenly stopped working.
I believe I have my .env okay. I hope you can help me since I am in a bit of a rush with a proyect

#
# Houdini Environment Settings
#
# The contents of this file are read into the environment
# at startup. They will override any existing entries in
# the environment.
#
# The syntax is one entry per line as follows:
# VAR = VALUE
#
# Values may be quoted
# VAR = “VALUE”
#
# Values may be empty
# VAR =
#

# Example:
#
# HOUDINI_NO_SPLASH = 1

HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2
PATH = “C:/ProgramData/Redshift/bin;$PATH”
HOUDINI_PATH = “C:/ProgramData/Redshift/Plugins/Houdini/17.5.173;&”

Every path is alright. I checked them 123 times. I even reinstalled redshift and Houdini multiple times. I am out of ideas


Thank you very much

Doesn't look like it's crashing, that's just a load error for an incompatible DSO, and has nothing to do with RedShift.

You are trying to load a GoZ plugin that has been compiled for Houdini 17.0. As the requester clearly says, that plugin needs to be (re-)compiled for Houdini 17.5. I am pretty sure that if you follow the information that is given by the requester, you won't get that requester (which isn't exactly a crash but an incompatibility warning).

As for Redshift: Make sure you have MATCHING VERSIONS. Houdini has a tendency to change its HDA constantly and if your Redshift plugin isn't compatible with the (possibly daily build) Houdini version you are running, you *will* actually experience crashes. If you want to be sure that it's actually Redshift that is causing crashes (like you say), simply deactivate Redshift, start Houdini and check if it still crashes.
But as long as you are seeing the GoZ-requester, you're not talking about Redshift
