VP23 randomly freezing during render

This has happened at least 4 times in the last 3 days. When rendering a project, it will get partway though, usually about half, then it will just freeze. I can't do anything and have to kill the process through task manager 3 or 4 times before it actually closes. However, If I run VP23 again and render the project, it will work fine.

 

Why is VP23 randomly freezing during rendering? I always render to 1080 p 59.94 frames AVC in MP4 format CBR at 28,000,000 - that matches my source (except bitrate is 35M). I never have issues rendering in VP22.

There just seems to be so many bugs in 23 that just freeze the software, no error pop up or crash dialog, just freezing.

Windows 11 (latest build), currently using Vegas Pro 22 latest build, and limited VP23 use to gauge performance and ease of use differences.

You also had freezes with 22 didn't you? Is it more with 23?

Could you try the default preset vs quality for NVIDIA? Is there anything notable at the point where the render crashes- Fx, change in media type, etc?
