Good day all,

I am using a new laptop; it has come with Windows 11.

After running Houdini, it crashes after around 18 seconds, without any error. I reverted from the daily build to the stable build and am experiencing the same thing.

I have no issues on my old laptop.

Operating System: Windows 11 Enterprise, 21H2, 22000.527
Version and Build Number of Houdini: 19.0.531 and 19.0.536

Edit: Houdini seems to stay open if I do nothing inside the network editor, I can change my view and look at all the other panels without issue, but as soon as I try to enter a node, or create a node via tab menu, it crashes.

Crash log for 19.0.536:

The first file listed in the crash report suggests vNidia OpenGL problem. New computers may need drivers updated.

If Houdini is stable enough, try visiting the Edit/Preferences/Miscellaneous menu and switch the OpenGL device from GPU to CPU.

Hi Alex Amos, you can solve this problem? in my crash report note show the same problem.

if you can solve and explain why u make solve this!

This happened to me as well on a windows 11 pc. The solution was to delete sonic studio 3, I also read online this could happen with other 3d sound drivers. Hope this helps!
