CRASH: Raytracing with Landscape Element

Hardware

  • Ryzen 9 7900X
  • 64 GB DDR 5 RAM
  • AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT w/ 16GB Video RAM

Problem
With my configuration Path Tracing is no problem - even with complicated reflections, many objects in scene etc. But after placing a single landscape plane, the instance path tracing is enabled, the program freezes the whole screen with only the mouse still working. After a while even the mouse stops and only a freezed screen remains until a hard reboot.

I have no real Idea why this could be and what to change other than buying a new graphics card.

what version are you using?

Hi @Buntfalke123,

Thanks for sharing the repro steps and your computer specs, that’s super helpful! :raising_hands:

Since crashes can sometimes be tricky to diagnose, the best next step is to report a bug through our support system if you haven’t already. A support agent can take a closer look at your case and hopefully offer more targeted advice.
