Even when it's made Editable the HDAs often exit with the Finished Processing Outputs message and no textures baked with the following message in the logs:
A workaround I have found is to duplicate the HDA inside of the UE5 scene, let it cook, and hit the bake button on the copy, then it works. Sometimes it needs to be done twice.
Hi SideFx team,
NOTE: This issue is not related to making Maps Baker editable in the HDA as explained here: https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/72425/?page=1#post-306694
Even when it's made Editable the HDAs often exit with the Finished Processing Outputs message and no textures baked with the following message in the logs:
LogActorComponent: RegisterComponentWithWorld: (/Game/Main.Main:PersistentLevel.HoudiniAssetActor_UAID_E4B97AEA9EECA64201_1822126071.StaticMeshComponent_4) Already registered. Aborting.

Exactly the issue and the workaround that's shown in this video: https://youtu.be/U4uLy1P3X4g?t=1038
This issue makes it difficult for users to use HDAs even with the workaround especially if HDA's cooking time is slow.
Thank you for looking into this!
