Hello,

I am trying to run the [Tracking From Critical Points](https://topology-tool-kit.github.io/examples/trackingFromCriticalPoints/) example from the TTK website.

I use this command “paraview states/trackingFromCriticalPoints.pvsm”. But, ParaView crashes immediately after loading the state file. When I try applying each filter one by one, ParaView crashes as soon as I apply the first filter, **`ttkTrackingFromFields`**.

However, when I load [Time Tracking](https://topology-tool-kit.github.io/examples/timeTracking/) example ( I tried this example because it is referenced in the description of the **`ttkTrackingFromFields`** filter.) from TTK , all filters load and apply successfully without any issues.

ParaView 5.13.0  
TTK 1.3.0  
Ram 36 GB
