I keep having my renders to disk crash Houdini (even if I disable file output). This happens at random moments in the render and goes away when I disable autosave. (I do have a little script that enables autosave when I start Houdini).
Now I don't know if this is related but every time I use any ROP (even a file cache node) the octane licensing information shows up in the Houdini Console, which didn't happen on previous versions
This is what the console shows on the start of the render:

Hmm after playing around a bit and jumping into the octane settings and enabling RTX acceleration it seems to not crash anymore. Will update if it happens again. Still would love some insight on why that console opens up on every ROP now, while it not used to do that!
The message probably comes from the fact that these ROPs are loading the plugin themselves, probably because they launch hython or any other Houdini command-line tool. This can be something new in H19.0. I'm not sure how to avoid something like that, but I'll take a look at it. Anyway, I remember that there is an environment variable to disable the console (HOUDINI_DISABLE_CONSOLE, I think)
Thanks,

A few weeks later and I am still encountering those issues. If autosave is enabled it crashes the render every time (at least if it is enabled at launch with the scripts). Can't help but think it's because octane is somehow retriggering the launch scripts on render start...
Other than that I am getting a decent bit of render crashing when having autosave off.
