    robo-orb.blend causing crashes

    Hi,

    I am running Blender 3.4.1 on Windows 11 (updated to latest since this morning).
    I have an RTX 2060 running on the latest Studio Driver.

    Just wanted to let you all know that when I opened the robo-orb.blend file and switch over to Cycles and GPU for rendering, it causes Blender to crash.

    I have re-installed Blender and the Nvidia GPU drivers and it still happens.

    Not asking for troubleshooting, just wanted to give you all a heads up, as maybe you might want to replace the robo-orb.blend with a newer version.

    Thanks

      It's been more and more clear how the latest Blender causes all sorts of trouble. While CG Cookie updates the robo-orb, you can also try going back a Blender version or two and open the file there. It'll probably open ok in one of those.

      Hi kidgoldenarm ,

      The file opens fine on my system (and my GPU is not as good as yours):

      as you can see. Using 3.4.1, Cycles, GPU...just not Windows.

      Maybe not try and switch from CPU to GPU when in rendered Mode, in case you tried that. Although that didn't make Blender crash either with me.

      Like Omar mentioned, it might be a 3.4 issue...Try 3.3 LTS.
