Understood Tomas, I'll try what you suggested here and do some more in depth checks to see if something else might be the issue. Thanks much!

hello again Tomas, it's working on 20.5.684. No errors. It's a large file with lots of models and when opened elsewhere tons of errors and all pointing to polysplit nodes.
In fact, all my files with huge modeling networks and lots of polysplits have errors in various houdini builds and only work well in the version they were created in and on the computer they were created on!
It all feels extremely fragile! I've created lots of models with semi procedural functionality where freezing does not make sense for some and I'm now very concerned!

Hello Tomas, here is a reduced file created on windows on H20.5; it doesn't work in H21 without polysplit errors and it doesn't work on Mac on H20.5 nor H21 for me either.
When I load this exact file on the PC it was created on in H20.5, no problems; If I try H21 on that same PC, errors all over the place! try it on mac on any houdini, errors all over the place!
