hyperforce

I've been getting this same error myself on several of my machines on all versions since 12.1.33.

I think its because of a .dll C++ path finder script i am using for my project. when I have the node installed on newer versions of houdini (starting from 12.1.33 houdini crashes when the .dll files are installed.

I've just bought a new work laptop and I just installed Houdini on it, clean install windows has been fully patched and my graphics drivers are up to date.

Houdini initially worked fine (after I patched the graphics drivers) however after I closed down all instances of Houdini and tried to restart a new instance of Houdini it always crashes on start-up with a ####: Fatal Error, Segmentation fault warning in the console a split second before splash screen closes out.

I'm running on a MSI
Windows 7 Home edition
Intel i7-2670QM
Nvidia gforce GTX 580M
16 gigs of ddr3
And Houdini is installed on a SSD harddrive.

Well the problem isn't the upload (though I haven't tried to upload something in a while).

The problem is the integration of the asset into Houdini after it is downloaded from the store.

The store seems to recognize that the asset has been send or that a sync has been requested. But Houdini errors out on it, saying it is missing a key DLL file.

I've tried this on 2 machines, and the problem appears on both.

I've tested it out on my desktop using Houdini 12.1.93-win64-vc9
(latest experimental build) using windows 7.
I've also tested it out on my laptop using 12.1.33 by both trying to
sync and by trying to install the spaceship asset using windows 7.

I can't test the newer builds since (12.1.77) crashes on the splash screen with a fatal error: segmentation fault.
