When choosing the GPU(s) as a render device in Houdini 17.5.229 on Windows, Arnold does not render, it's as if arnold doesn't even get to `AiBegin` because it does not even create a new `Stats File Path` file for debugging. All the Houdini console shows is that it exported the Arnold `.kick` and then shutdown.
Happening for both `IPR` and `Render to Disk`
Not quite sure what's happening.
Check the Info on the Arnold ROP, the actual render log should be there
