Blender 3.5.1 / Prorender 3.6 / Polaris

[Thalionsolarstorm]

When using this Combination - Blender crashes immediately after going to interactive view or hitting render - empty scene just default cube. Prorender 3.5 was working mostly fine - i suspect this has something to do with the Backend switch to VK / HIP -
ProRender beeing the only option as Cycles also would not run via HIP on Polaris Cards. Could theese be added - since OpenCL never was working correctly after Blender 2.8 on theese ( Crashes / Memory Corruption but ONLY in Cycles ) - RPR was working Lux was working using OpenCL. Now it would be very nice to have HIP for Polaris Cards too - since their been good stable workhorses otherwise. If not then could PLEASE somone look at the Cycles 2.93 LTS Source and fix that Memory corruption issue which completelly destroys the driver to a Hardcrash at least - so there is maybe ONE Version finally running after 7 Years :p ?

Thx & Cheers!

In the settings switch the viewport mode to "RPR Final" and under debug settings choose "Use OpenCL".

This should really be posted in the RPR Blender repo...
