Hi, i recently upgraded to H13 and every time i put skylight from shelf into the scene H13 freezes. During freeze up task manager shows houdini keep using more and more ram untill it maxes out and crashes. I did not have this problem with H12.5

Im using nvidia gtx 680 with 331.65 drivers on windows 7

Every other light sorce works fine except skylight. I also tried beta version of H13 it has the same problem.

Thanks in advance.

try turning off GPU acceleration for compositing in the preferences.

….and log a bug, please. Thanks!

Thank you that did work and I submitted the bug report. The problem only occurs it GPU accel enabled when the houdini loads up, if it was disabled and then re-enabled the problem disappears for that session till next restart.

But keeping it off completely solved it for me, thanks again; I dont know why I didnt try deleting H13 config folder to begin with. ops:
