Steps to Reproduce

  1. follow standalone_examples/api/isaacsim.ros2.bridge/rtx_lidar.py and Publishing Camera’s Data — Isaac Sim Documentation .

  2. run isaacsim with lidar and camera data export to ros2 at same time

  3. It will crash sometimes.

@user43852 i am just another user, but what version of cuda do you have? some users have experienced issues that stems from the version they are using.
