I have been getting this error on various Windows machines (TD2023.11880). It only shows up in certain projects that use a certain COMP, which unfortunately I cannot share.
The COMP does roughly the following:
Takes reference of a COMP, clones it inside itself on startup, and modifies the material of the Geos inside the cloned COMP.
If the cloned COMP, on startup, contains any scripts using numpy the error shows up in all scripts using numpy.
Cloning after startup causes no issues.
Hope my observation is correct.
