System Information
Operating system: macOS-12.3.1-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT OpenGL Engine ATI Technologies Inc. 4.1 ATI-4.8.15
Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.1.2, branch: master, commit date: 2022-03-31 17:40, hash: rBcc66d1020c3b
Worked: 3.0.1
Short description of error
After upgrading to OS monterey 12.3.1 and starting using blender 3.1 the mac freezes and restarts occasionally on projects. The same projects on 3.0.1 before the upgrade were working fine.
Does anyone else experience the same issue ?
The problems has already occurred on the following occasions (so far)
- while rendering in cycles, I haven't tried eevee yet. (happened twice already - but usually the renders do finish)
- while previewing certain parts of a shader, by connecting to the viewer different nodes (- on cycles render view)
- while previewing different lighting settings (turning on and off collections) on the render view.
- while opening a heavy project (this happened twice so far)
- while going to render view
- and last and most weird of all, while moving an object in the scene, on solid view, without anything else going on
Some of the above have happened with the metal support for both gpu and cpu off too.
Also so far I haven't managed to make them happen again on 3.0.1 (even on monterey)
The behaviour of the computer is either of the two:
- beachball appears, then it freezes and after a few minutes the mac restarts.
- all the above but instead of restart it logs me out and gets me tot he login page
Some times it also gives glitches on the screen (similar to the attached picture)
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Unfortunately I cannot provide a way to reproduce it as it happens on multiple projects and on a variety of ways. I hope the description above will provide enough information.
