"Prelaunch pb? 1" message on every houdini launch April 7, 2025, 11:10 p.m.

Turns out just doing this wasn't sufficient! The OFX plugin nodes and the "Prelaunch pb? 1" warning still kept appearing until I set my HOUDINI_DISABLE_OPENFX_DEFAULT_PATH to 1. Here's where I found all the info on these environment variables for more info: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/copernicus/openfx.html [www.sidefx.com] .


Nice find, Thank you for this. Definitely Sapphire OFX.

HI, We have exactly same problem. Did you manage to solve this issue by setting BUFFEREDSAVE variable?

I am sorry to say we could not find an absolute cause or definite solution to this issue.

BufferSave seemed to help reduce the frequency of this issue for us. At the time, I honestly thought it could have been caused by our server's write cache not being able to keep up with the number of nodes creating the .bgeo.sc files because we only had this happen when we had many machines simultaneously writing very large cache files.

We have not seen this issue since the original post, so I am afraid I cant share much more.

I do hope you get this resolved very soon, it is terrible when this is what slows down production.

We have enabled the BUFFEREDSAVE and we are running some tests. As this is an intermittent problem, I will give it a couple of days to see if it happens. Thanks!
