Using Houdini indie 18.5.696, OctaneX PR11 running on macOS 11.6 latest

houdini.env looks like Here's the crash report I can only open the Options window without it crashing Houdini completely. If I open the activation window, it says I'm activated. If I sign out and back in, it crashes when I push ok.

This is a brand new install of Houdini and Octane. I can get Octane studio to run fine and the plugin for Modo runs.

Any ideas?

Added HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2 to my env file and this is the output on the terminal

I'm afraid that the current Octane X Houdini plugin doesn't have a proper plugin build for the latest Houdini production versions. The Houdini and plugin builds must match, so you are going to need to stay with any of the Houdini versions that have a proper Octane plugin build inside the released .zip file.

Ah interesting. So how often does Octane get rebuilt to match Houdini's version? It's pretty wild that a minor dot release completely breaks Octane.

We update the Octane plugin as soon as a new Houdini production build is available, but well, it is true that the OctaneX PR11 plugin is falling behind due to the fact that it is not part of the conventional Octane 2020.x or 2021.x Windows/Linux releases.

Hopefully, the macOS Octane builds will be part of these conventional releases soon. Anyway, I'll try to add new plugin builds for the latest Houdini production builds to the current OctaneX PR11 release. Stay tuned!

Houdini 19.0.383 just shipped, when might we get a new build of OctaneX?

As soon as we have the PR12 SDK, that should be available in a matter of days. I'm waiting for it to compile new macOS builds.
