System Information
Operating system: macOS-12.3-arm64-arm-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: Apple M1 Apple 4.1 Metal - 76.3

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.1.0 Beta, branch: master, commit date: 2022-01-28 13:28, hash: 430f71fce2

Short description of error
Updated MacOS to 12.3 (Beta) and going to Viewport Render will cause a full Mac freeze then crash. A hard reboot is the only resolution.

Not sure if this is caused from the latest version of MacOS (12.3 Beta) or if it's the latest version of Blender (3.1Beta).
I haven't tried with the latest Blender 3.1 Beta build with Monterey 12.2 Beta as this would require me to wipe the computer and reload all apps and files in the OS downgrade process.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open default scene and toggle the Viewport Render button.

Same happens for me when Im rendering it happens when I render with gpu only and also with CPU and GPU. This happens when rendering in viewport and also when you click render image. it just hangs the whole computer.

I cannot reproduce on macOS 12.1.
I have updated to macOS 12.2 and still cannot reproduce.

@Leonard-Gottert Thanks for testing. I just downgraded to 12.2 and everything is fine, which most likely confirms it is a MacOS 12.3 issue with Blender.

@Michael-Jones tagging you for awareness. This maybe something you have to pass along to your coworkers at Apple.

Thanks.

We're aware of this issue in MacOS 12.3 and are working to address it. Thanks all for testing / reporting the issue.

macOS 12.2 is the best version to be on until the issue present in 12.3 is fixed. Anything earlier than 12.2 is likely to have correctness issues.

I haven't been able to test version 12.3 yet (it doesn't seem to be available on my mac yet).
Does the crash happen with GPU (Metal) or with CPU too?

This issue affects GPU/Metal only, and has just been fixed in internal 12.3 builds. The fix should be present in the next 12.3 beta release, and certainly by the end of the beta period.
