I've got the same problems... It's really sad! Almost EVERY scene crashes
...even after re-attaching all textures.
Actually the computer freezes completely. I'm not getting anywhere.
Did you guys uninstall the alpha first? Hope this will be fixed soon.

I haven't had any crashes during rendering, only if i press stop. Then it crashes about half of the time.

OK ... it seems to be a standard problem. Should I post this in the bug section again or do the NL team read all forums?

Looks like I'm not the only one encountering these problems. Makes me
feel a bit more 'relaxed'!! Coz I still believe the beta is a fantastic release.
Does anyone know when the first patch or bugfix is gonna be released?

Let's keep fingers crossed...

I think it's important to specify, does it crash by itself, DURING rendering, or does it crash when you press stop?

For me it has never crashed during rendering, maybe aitraaz and fuso ment the same thing, when they press stop?

well, I have 3 versions. It crashed while rendering (computer freezes),
and also after stopping it (just mxcl.exe crashes). In one out of ten cases
it stopped and was fine. That's when I was encouraged by looking at quite
quick and amazing results.

My sporadic crahes have only happened when I stop the render. Maxwell Render closes with no apparent other effect on my system.

I get this crash fairly often (1 in 5). Often happens when I switch to another app while the render is running.

I only get the crashes when I hit "Stop Render." And like you guys it happens once a while (didn't really keep count though).
