Does anyone one know what causes this/how to fix it? Has anyone else had this problem? After using houdini for a while, when you middle mouse click a node or click the “i” icon, I get this error instead of the node info. Its happens to me on linux, on windows, and on windows through steam houdini. The only thing I can do is close houdini and re-open it. Wasn't sure if this is a bug and should report or is there something I am missing?

I reported this to sidefx since I didn't know how to recreate it they said they couldn't do anything. I still have the same problem, I have to close houdini 10 times every day because it stops working. I really need a fix.

Thanks,

Evan

I suggest you check to see if this problem occurs in Houdini Console 'WindowsError: Error 234'.

If this problem arises, then you can refer to this article:

Hope you found that helpful

I found out what causes the issue

If you open houdini, then open a new houdini floating panel and create a new node then show the node info then delete that window, the node info stops working

Hello. I had the same problem! There is a solution in my case. Maybe it will help you.

In Houdini settings, on the Network Editor, Nodes, and Trees tab, you need to turn off Node Info Windows Close When Losing Focus if it is enabled.

Thanks, that is good to know. Sidefx logged it as a bug, but it still isnt fixed. I will definitely do this for now.

Thanks,

Evan

At least I got a lot more time of normal operation without rebooting.
Unfortunately, I found out another point where even turning this mode off doesn't help and the error comes back.
This happens when rebooting the current desktop

That sounds like different issue. Log a bug with your system details. Make sure you check the latest daily build first.
