Which rendering plugin are you referring to?

How are you ray tracing? Using the 'ray' command? Clicking the 'ray' button? What happens if you do not use a white background? These bugs sound like they're related to the plugin, not PyMOL itself. Can you share your PyMOL session file with me? > As it is both the rendering types, I assume it is some change to memory > utilized by the shaders, as it crashes everytime.

If you have Intel-based hardware you might try the following settings upon startup: set use_shaders, 0 set sphere_mode, 0 and then try your rendering plugin.
