Sounds like the problem is system freeze & not crash - which does not give you the option to do anything but force re-start and thus no crash report dialogue.

Am fairly sure it's linked to graphics cards, I had a similar issue on an older mac pro but with another graphics card which only arose with the later 10.5 updates. Updating to snow leopard fixed it.

And no V2 does not only run on snow leopard - it ran fine on my macbook pro with 10.5.8 and on other testers mac pro units.

HI Ricky, could your problem be related to this? your problems look quite similar.

Running studio on demo mode (waiting after my good license)
Import scene -> simball scene -> Crash and freeze
Right click -> create new material -> Crash and freeze

Fedup with rebooting always my computer. Waiting after 2.1

Try this:

Go to preferences of Studio: Turn off Smooth Anti-alaising for the viewport and check if that corrects the issue. What video card do you have?

[rickyinmotion]

try that and it doesn't work.
see my other post here.
Installing on the same machine + bootcamp + vista 64 bits. It works

-I get the problem too.

-I am using a mac pro with dual 2,66 osX 10.5.8 and the nvidia
quadro fx 4500

-Everything but the mouse cursor freezes when I open a file
with studioV2 and I have to pull the plug. So I get no
crash dump or console message.

HI r3nd0r,

As I posted before in this same thread, there are some problems in OpenGL drivers for NVIDIA cards from 10.5.6 to 10.5.8 that looks like solved with 10.6. You can check if this is the problem if you see messages this kind of messages in your System Log:

NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception!

You can see System Logs by opening Console.app (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app).

I hope it helps,

Anymore news on these issues? I too keep getting crashes. One crash seems to have been solved by turning off the antialiasing, but now a crash has started when I am previewing materials. Here is the excerpt from the crash log:
