Hi all, sorry if this has been addressed already but I feel as though I'm having a very specific issue.
I'm using R16.050 and downloaded and installed A5. That part went smooth as butter on silk.
When I have the interactive render window open, with just a simple box on a plane, a single corona area light, and a standard corona material on both, I get frequent crashes. I've attached the c4d bug report. Hopefully it helps narrow down the issue.
It sucks because I was super excited to use this render engine and so far it's been useless for me :/.
My CPU is AMD FX-8350
16GB RAM
GTX 760 (not that it matters)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yup, IPR is prone to crash... don't use it for now.

Unfortunately A5 is pretty buggy, but hey, it's alpha version, and we are doing our best to make A6 much, much, much more stable. You can read about some known problems and solutions, and also about becoming a beta tester, in this thread: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,11721.0.html

Ah ok, so I'm not alone here. Just wanted to be sure, I figured everyone else was having a blast getting "real-time" updates and I was having some sort of weird issue.
Good to know.
So if I just use a render region in the viewport would that be a suitable workaround for this for getting quick updates? Obviously I'd have to reduce my production render settings to temporary lower values/samples to get better speed.
As for beta testing, I'm very interested in being a part of it.
