Moin,

I am not quite clear what you expect from users who may or may not encounter Houdini crashing “a few seconds of its launch”. Even if you find someone who experienced that - if SideFX couldn't find a cure for the problem it is unlikely that being two users with that issue changes anything about it.

You might want to give a bit more information about your system - from the info you give above, I assume you are running Mac OS 7 with 32MB RAM and a Floppy Disk Drive. It is possible that your Finder has a defective resource file and a simple clean up of all resource files on your “desktop” will fix the issue.

Now, joking aside: There are SO MANY things you can do in order to circle in on the cause of the problem, most of which really depend on what system you are running. Starting from a different user account, running library access snoopers, having a look into your syslog/notification log, cleaning up settings, checking graphic driver hickups and and and.
I am not saying that Houdini 18 is the most stable release ever (I am experiencing random crashes at completely different places than before), but if your installation “crashes reliably”, chances are that you CAN find the AREA of cause for that. It's unlikely, that sideFX can - without having direct access to your system and the resources to debug your system.

Out of here. Being called a dick after having supported Houdini users for years is over my paygrade.

Good bye.

You probably save time by switching to another operating system or machine then.

what programs do you have running in background like antivirus etc. what is the OS? is it up to date? have you tried starting your PC in safe mode and then run Houdini? if it is antivirus, then disable it and try starting Houdini. just some simple things to aid in troubleshooting. if H17.5 and 18 crash just after start then it sounds like it could be a video card driver.

beyond that I cannot help

Disabling NahimicService also worked for my machine:

Dell Alienware M15 - GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q
