Often doing any material parameter changes when render region is actively rendering also crashes, nevermind changing whole materials! The 'official' way is to pause/update on mouse up or click. Eg click on viewport to pause render region , do material change then restart region
There may be some cases it works perfectly fine but been bitten too many times to not work this way. On Fri, Jun 8, 2018, 6:27 PM kenny wood <[email protected]> wrote: > Haha ok .
