Since I upgraded to SU 2023, I have been getting frequent LO crashes – maybe twice an hour on average. It usually happens when I render a page, after making changes in SU. If I open the file back up and try rendering again, it will often work properly. I render manually, with a shortcut, but I’m pretty sure it was happening with auto-render as well.
The models aren’t particularly unusual or large – single-family residential. I haven’t yet spotted a pattern of what might be causing it; I do have quite a few SU extensions (no LO extensions), but testing those individually would be tedious. Guess I want to make some noise about the issue, and see if anyone else is experiencing this or has any advice. I’m considering going back to SU 2022, but there are some features to 2023 that for now are worth dealing with the crashes. RTX 4090 GPU, Ryzen 9 5900X CPU, 64GB RAM.

Update
Still getting crashes. It usually (always?) happens when I’m rendering a page with multiple viewports. Some things I’ve been trying which seem to maybe help.
- Render one viewport at a time, via the ‘Render’ button in SU Model pane.
- Render in raster mode, then change it to vector, then re-render.
- Hide layers containing the viewports, render, then unhide.
