For those who are experiencing a crash anytime they try to render something, I have a temporary solution until it gets fixed!
First, upon creating a new project, go to the Project Settings on the left
Just above the Tempo slider, you'll see a Render Settings drop down, set that to Custom
You'll notice a new section appears beneath Project Settings called Render Settings
Open that up and look for Indirect Lighting, and make sure to turn that Off
With that disabled you should be able to render things once more! Hopefully we'll soon have this issue fixed, but for now I hope this helps everyone out!
