Hello,
I encounter one problem with Karma (first on XPU, but appears that it also affects CPU).

When I work in Stage, and in viewport, it renders as it should, but when try to render frame Range, I hit render to disk (or Render to disk in background) it exports just the first frame and exit render with this error message:

Failed to complete render: exit code -1073741819
Use a Log Viewer with External Render Processes enabled for more information.

I tried to include renderlog, but there is no error in there even if I set the verbose level to 9.

it happening on Houdini indie 19.0.589 py3.


thanks in advance

Just to pile on this, I found this thread because I have this exact (very odd) error code issue, on two Karma render nodes in my setup.

Can anyone from sideFX explain what this error code means, or how to debug it further (what does "Use a Log Viewer with External Render Processes enabled for more information" mean?)

Thanks!

Just a follow-up: I removed Redshift from my houdini.env and this error went away.

Not sure this is causal but thought I'd mention it in case this is a clue to any intrepid explorers in the future who happen across this page.

Another follow-up: I asked about this on the Redshift forums, and got the following response:

Yes, sorry. This problem can be related to a crash on exit that we have due to the new CPU renderer. The workaround is to delete the CPU renderer .dll/.so/dylib from the Redshitf/bin directory to disable this feature. We are working on a fix for this issue.

oh, great, thanks for this workaround

hopefully, they will fix it in some update in redshift.
