Blender 4.2 constantling failing

Hi. I am getting a frequent issue

Illegal address in CUDA queue copy_from_device (integrator_init_from_bake integrator_shade_surface integrator_sorted_paths_array)
rna_uiItemR: property not found: CyclesLightSettings.use_shadow

It is almost impossible to work in the scene. How do I troubleshoot this? I am not sure if its a plugin or my recent nvidia driver update.

Thank you

Two options i guess
Roll back drivers to see what happens
Turn off all addons and see what happens
If both fail report a bug for the dev to fiddle with :wink:

Remove add-ons? Every time I have an issue? Doesn’t the report show what addon is creating the problem?

You reply two weeks after, and still haven’t done any of the suggestions?

And no, turn them OFF, not - remove - them.
Sjeez dude…

Thank you !

to temporarily turn off all addons:
launch blender from a command line (terminal in linux… whatever the command-prompt-window is in windows) using the --factory-startup switch.

$ blender --factory-startup myBlenderFile.blend

alas… no…
at least in general… some specific addons may barf with an intelligible error message, but that’s rare.
Sometimes you might get a python stack-trace that can finger one particular addon, but your original post says you got a CUDA error message, so you’re somewhere in the GPU. This could still be due to an addon, which is why you need to try the --factory-startup to rule out addon issues.
If it’s not an addon, then you’re back to having to check / re-install / upgrade NVidia drivers.

one extra tidbit:
always run blender from the command-line.
$ blender myfile.blend

Most error message get printed to stderr in the terminal window that started blender. If you just double-click the desktop icon, you may not see these error messages.
