is this a known bug/limitation?
I am not aware of a bug like this - but I will have a look here in a bit.
Does this happen when your ram is still very empty?
Are there any other errors in the Houdini console ouput?
Happy Rendering!

It's a great place to get very fast feedback or support from me and other Octane Houdini users.
I'd highly recommend it!

yea, it's not heavy scene, only about 3gb vram are used.
houdini gives this error:

Just tested in 2026.3 and definitely works fine there.marcikola wrote: Wed May 06, 2026 1:59 pm yea, it's not heavy scene, only about 3gb vram are used.

Not sure if it's fixed in the latest core build, or if it's some scene specific error - in which case it'll be hard to figure that out without a test scene.
If you can provide that I'd be happy to test it and see if I can figure out what's going on.
When you say "almost crashes" what do you mean with that?
Happy Rendering!
