Trouble Installing Houdini on Windows 11 Oct. 16, 2026, 4:56 p.m.
You can check the Smart App Control feature... I turned it off and it sorted me out. It is in the security app in your right side taskbar. Just a thought :-) Hope it helps.

H22 Wayland on Linux support? Oct. 15, 2026, 1:41 p.m.
DrewzeeWhat quirks are you running into? I am on a new install of Linux Mint 22.3, with the 615.71.09 Nvidia drivers, and have been rock solid. I don't use Karma though, I use another hydra-delegate. I can see if I get these quirks if you want to do some testing, since we are on similiar distros?
Not to dog pile but I'm starting to run into some quirks with X11 on Pop OS 22.04 (its basically ubuntu). So I'm adding a +1 for Wayland. Pop OS is so much better than Windows though. Zero crashes in COPs on 22.0.429. Windows crashed constantly, especially when screen recording. But without wayland screen recording is still really really bad/choppy.
Houdini Linux Wayland Support? Oct. 15, 2026, 1:28 p.m.
SreckoMHey Srecko, I am only replying since I am on a Ubuntu based distro... Linux Mint 22.3 (Ubuntu 24.04) (X11 Native). I am on the newest Nvidia driver 615.71.09. I have had zero issues. Now, let me preface that I don't use Karma, I use another hydra-delegate, and I am on pure X11.
I am experiencing slow down with radial menus, the longer I work with Houdini there is more and more slowdown, up to the point that menu opens for 2-3 seconds. Also when hitting tab and doing search it gets slower with longer working session. Like there is some leak. Using Nvidia 580.173.02 driver on Ubuntu 26.05 Wayland. Anyone getting this?
I have been rock solid. I have also used Rocky Linux 9.8 as well, and have been rock solid there as well. Rocky Linux 9.8 is also pure X11.
