Sometimes my Houdini just stops responding and I have to kill it. By "sometimes" I mean several times a day. I'd like to issue a bug report, but I really don't know how:
1. It doesn't crash, just hangs forever. So there is no crash log.
2. There is no reproducing step either. It's random. Sometimes it freezes when I change a texture. Or change from Karam to GL. Even adding a UV projection node can freeze Houdini. But after I kill it and retry, things work again.
It's not a showstopper... or it is? If there is a specific feature that causes the problem I can work around it. But I really don't know how to use software that freezes almost hourly. It's indeed frozen, not just running slow. (I make sure to wait 5 minutes before killing it every time)
I was just following the official tutorial so my scene is small enough. I have 32GB of RAM, and I barely have issues in Blender (while dealing with much bigger scenes), so I don't think the hardware is the problem.
Sorry if it sounds like a rant, but I need help and I don't even know how to ask for it. In the past week, I've tried both Studio and Game Ready drivers and two versions of Houdini (19.0.383, .444), but the problem persists.
Houdini freezes: how to issue a bug report?
