I’m experiencing a crash in TouchDesigner whenever I add a Script TOP to my project. As soon as I place the node, the program immediately crashes. I’ve tried reinstalling TouchDesigner and updating my GPU drivers, but the problem persists.
We had multiple reports in the recent weeks that were caused by conflicting versions of NumPy.
Are you:
Setting up a custom python search path in preferences?
Sideloading a custom python library using a component such as TD-PIP ?
Sideloading a custom environment such as a Conda environment?
If one of this point is true, while those approaches are allowed, they are custom and external to the core distribution of TouchDesigner and we cannot provide support in case of crashes or instabilities.
The possible issues are documented at the following page: Python - Derivative
Note that if the issue is indeed caused by a conflicting NumPy version, it will be solved in a future experimental build where the NumPy library shipping with TouchDesigner is updated.
You mean you removed the import statement in the Script TOP ? This will prevent the issue from happening in that specific case, but it could still show up and cause instabilities in other parts of TouchDesigner.
If removing the import statement fixed things, it’s pointing to the aforementioned issues being the origin of the problem.
