System Information
Operating system: macOS-13.0-arm64-arm-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: Metal API Apple M2 Pro 1.2

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.5.0, branch: blender-v3.5-release, commit date: 2023-03-29 02:56, hash: 1be25cfff18b
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Blender interface hangs when in Rendered mode in viewport. App crashes during renders.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
I'm able to get a few seconds of use when in Rendered mode in the viewport, but then the app will hang and I'll need to force-quit. When I attempt to render anything higher than HD I'll encounter a crash - This is at random, I can't duplicate it very easily.

Hi, thanks for the report. Does this happen when cycles kernel are loading and you performed an operation?
Did you see any text message at top left of the viewport window: "Loading render kernels (may take a few minutes the first time)"

If this is not the case then problem might be same as #106401
Since the above issue is fixed already, I want you to verify it in tomorrow's 3.6 build: https://builder.blender.org/download/daily/

Hi Pratik, thank you for your reply.

I believe it does happen when the Cycles kernels are loading, however I do not see any text messages - I've attached a screenshot here.

It essentially looks like the application is just hanging, everything becomes inoperable and I have to Force-Quit and restart in order to continue.

On the plus side I've been learning all about the benefits of Eevee, however I do need to use Cycles.

Hi Patrik,

The problem seems to be resolved in both the Blender 3.6 release and the current 3.5.1 release.

Thank you for your help!
