Rhino 8 Mac OS crash

Hello all,
I want to ask for help concerning constant Rhino 8 crashes, usually when I’m working in the rendered view. I have already switched from metal to cpu in the render tab, yet the crashes happen on average 2-3 times a day. For reference, I use a macbook m4 max. So far the crashes are a total pain and make working unbearable, especially since none of this happened while using rhino 7. Any chance of someone helping to fix my issue?

Hi SRH,

Please run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and post the results.

Is this something that happens in a particular file or can you repeat in a blank file?

Hi Japhy,

Thanks for the reply! The issue happens in different files as soon as I start to work with materials.

Kindly find systeminfo below>
