I had been seeing a flash of red now and then with Rhino 8 but just had to shutdown Rhino this time. Working away in very light file. Screen started to flicker red as I tried to pan, rotate, move or do anything. Not responsive so closed down all Rhino sessions. Last window to close I got the beachball then had to force quit. Is anyone else having these red screens happen in 8? I took a video but it is 70 MB and just a red screen so… Just a one off? Or is my Mac about to give up?
I presume you mean you see red only in the Rhino 8 viewport, right? A screen-shot might help here, but I think I can imagine it (despite being red/green colorblind)
Could you please run the SystemInfo command and copy/paste the results here so we could take a look?
@jeff can you remind me, are we using red to designate some major Metal failure or am I mis-remembering?

Oh interesting, so is it always the background? I was presuming it filled the entire frame.
I’m curious, if you disconnect your Studio Display, do you see the same red artifacts on your build-in display on your MacBookPro?
Didn’t think to unplug the monitor. Next time, if it happens again, I will test that.

My coworker - Brian J - has a similar Mac (2019 MBP) but with the AMD Radeon 5600m GPU and he sees red occasionally too (but not just in Rhino - but only after using Rhino). He thinks there might be a hardware fault here that Rhino may push into this state. It’s a plausible theory.
