I think we've got it nailed down. I use the take system to turn nulls on and off which contain my lighting rigs (sky, lights, cam, floor). If I render 200 takes that all use the same lighting rig, then there are no sky drop outs. If I render 200 takes which alternate back and forth between 2 lighting rigs using visibility dots, I get 5-6 dead skies.

I'm even going to go one step further. I bet my arse this is the same bug as Ive reported elsewhere, where the live view randomly misses some actions until you nudge something in the scene or resend the project to the gpu.

This build has problem with updating materials and if we don't update them manually it will crash after connecting new textures.

Crash while removing node.

This build is just for testing the related topic. It's normal to have crashes on somethings else the topic because of some log outputs.
Btw can I ask why do you continually pointing different issues around updates?

I report issues only when they occur. I thought that this forum is for that. Generally I found that all alpha 2024 versions have issues while removing nodes - disconnecting works fine.
Also most of old scenes created in previous 2023 are unstable. Creating new scene with copied objects from old works near fine.

Pls make your reports in the place, not in a different topic. Also assign a scene side to your videos. Otherwise not useful, because mostly it's not happening on my side. I suspect you have something we don't have.
