Hello, I'm falling in love with Houdini more and more for every release. 14 is great! But… (had to be a but).

I have two Indie versions of Houdini. One for my iMac at work and one for my Macbook Pro Retina at home. Have a problem with lots of crashing on OSX Yosemite. Have already contacted SideFX support, they say my graphic cards are not supported. Both are Nvidia GeForce!

It crashes almost every time I open a file. But if I merge a saved file, it works. It crashes sometimes when I open a floating window, when I sometimes select and model, when working with complex node structures.

Isn't there some way to make it work? Don't feel like buying two new computers to keep working with Houdini.

Feels like I'm being forced off my Macs. They are not that old.

Also, I've read some place on the forum that If you have an older unexpired Apprentice HD license to write sidefx so they can convert it to an Indie license. There's been several reports regarding licenses confusing the Houdini installation & causing possible crashes/weird behavior upon launch.

Please try the next daily build (14.0.223). Please give it a try when you have a chance. And if you still have problems please post them at https://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=172&page=viewtopic&t=37374 [sidefx.com] so I can find everything in one thread…

Thanks!
