Hi
I’m currently running into an issue with the C++ SOP when working in a multi-machine environment.
The Setup:
- OS: Windows 10
- TouchDesigner Build: 2025.32280
- Storage: Projects are stored on a Linux server via a Samba (SMB) share.
The Issue: When I open a project directly from the network share, the C++ SOP fails to load the associated .dll files. The operator simply displays a generic “Error loading DLL” message.
However, if I move the exact same project folder to a local disk, everything initializes and loads perfectly.
Observations:
-
Even if this is expected behavior due to Windows security policies regarding executing binaries over a network (UNC paths), it creates a significant bottleneck for multi-machine sync project.
-
The current error message (“Error loading DLL”) is quite opaque. It would be very helpful if the info pop-up could specify if the failure is due to a pathing issue, a missing dependency, or a Windows security/permission block
Cheers,
Colas
