Awooga awgooga! Full battle stations! My favourite Blender add-on has stopped working.
Just trying to add a terrain height map, scatter, or anything else results in a crash to desktop.
# backtrace
Exception Record:
ExceptionCode : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

Prior to the add-on becoming a crash monkey, I was experiencing a problem where Geoscatter's main scatter types were not working. It's possible that they were projecting scatters on an offset of the terrain's apparent ground level.
I re-added the add-on. I then installed it on a copy of Blender 4.3. It worked!
I then completely removed and reinstalled it. Fixed! Phew!
What was the cause?
Not at all sure. Some theories:
1) I used Blender 4.4 through Blender Base, which might interfere with the configuration. I used Steam Blender from two separate PCs with different setups. I wonder if any hardware-specific configuration might have polluted the application files, so opening Blender on the other machine resulted in misconfiguration.
All unlikely, but it does seem weird that things went very wonky.
Today
Back to the Rig
Lots of tidying up to do. I want to have the build complete by tomorrow.
