Vegas 14 crashes multi-cam mixing, rendering

I find that Vegas 14 Build 211 is very unstable when multi-cam mixing, it often crashes (13 was not any better). Also, I am unable to reliably render a simple project in Vegas, it often crashes mid-way through a big render.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 card in a brand new computer with i7 6700 CPU and 16 gb RAM.

I have discovered a work-around for now: disable GPU acceleration.

But of course, this means that rendering takes much longer, so this is not a solution. I filed a report with Magix, and the response was to make sure I have the latest build installed, which I do.

I have Googled this topic, and found that many others are experiencing the same problem.

Anybody else with this experience?

Just after I wrote this (I'm new to this forum), I found that others (much wiser than I) have been reporting this in this forum, so that answers my question. Nick Hope has found specifically that my video card is problematic.

I also received a response from tech (today): "We continue work on a more robust update that addresses some long-standing issues as well as improvements to new features."

Hopefully this fixes the NVIDIA problem.

Not problematic (as long as you use a driver that Vegas likes), just slower than some other options.

Which Nvidia driver version are you using?

not sure how helpful that is (as i use R390X), but i do a loooot of multicam projects and dont remember having any problems in 13 nor 14.

Just few days ago i rendered out 3-cam 2hr concert (with mercalli stab applied to whole clips in project media, and neat video applied to each track) - the render took over 15hrs... no problem.

so it looks like it might be indeed the graphic card /driver problem
