I'm running 18.5.499 apprentice on a imac - catalina, 72GB ram, amd radeon pro 5300 4 gb. Houdini is crashing a lot (5-10x/hr). I'm not sure, but it may be worse after the .499 upgrade.

Generally I'd say that performance is very good, I can handle lots of polly's I don't experience much in the way of lagging (but I'm fairly new to houdini, so I don't know what to expect). But the crashing is really an issue for me and like to find a solution. I understand that my gpu isn't supported - does this mean that it may be the main culprit here? Is there a solution to this - would an external gpu fix this?


Cheers
