This was working perfectly for me last week- but for some reason- why I try to bake my hda inside of UE5.1- the houdini asset is deleteed from the Outliner- but no static meshes are created. Then UE crashes. I've updated to Houdini 19.5.534 (Production Build) and am using the Unreal Plugin 19.5.534 installed into the unreal project directory. The HDA loads into Unreal- I'm able to see it in the viewport- my issue occurs when selecting "Bake and Replace All Houdini Assets". There should be a folder created inside a "Houdini Engine" folder where all of the static meshes are stored- but nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

Managed to get this working again- spent some quality time reading through this:

Imagine that- reading the directions...
