Blender 4.0 Alpha file crashing

Support Technical Support
1

I made a thing in blender main.7c2dc5183d03 which is a alpha version of 4.0 (I needed the Repeat Zone node from 4.0).

The problem is that whenever I use a newer version now of the 4.0 Alpha/Beta that blender is crashing.
I also tried blender 4.1 alpha, but that also crashes.

The whole scene is just a cube that has a geometry nodes on it. I tried to append the NodeTree which contains 4 trees. Only one of them can be imported, with two others nothing happens, and with one blender is crashing.

I was wondering if someone has suggestions of what to do next. I still have blender with main.7c2dc5183d03 installed so I could take screenshots but I was hoping for a easier solution.

Here is the file for in case someone want’s to give an attempt on the actual subject.

I think it’s a geometry node problem
The cube can be loaded, but it crashes when the geometry node is loaded.

4.0 is not yet a full version, so problems can occur at any time.
I don’t know the reason for this problem. :sweat_smile:

You may try to use the -debug command line or look into the crashlog like shown in docs.blender manual troubleshooting crash… so someone don;t have to check with this exact version… and crash it on her/his computer… also Windos, Linux, Mac ??
Then there might be some more information to share… and maybe someone could help… :person_shrugging:

I saw the reply to late. So yeah for someone stranding here with a simuliar problem I would recommend trying the -debug option mentioned above.
Since I saw this reply to late I ended up making screenshots in the blender version that worked and then recreated the node trees in the blender version that would otherwise crash.

When using alpha’s or betas I recommend to keep older versions when updating to newer ones.
