Description

Hello,

A very strange issue. I have a scene with a few area lights. I selected one of those lights, changed it from RGB to Temperature, tried some values and then switched back to RGB and the scene went black and now nothing works. I mean it doesn't matter what I do, everything stays black when I use LuxCoreRender in that scene. I tried deleting all lights, switching renders, changing settings, adding lights, etc. but without any luck. On one occasion I was able to get it back to work, but the scene was all pink and then Blender crashed. Here is what it looks like:

luxcore_bug_01a
luxcore_bug_01b

Here are two crash reports:

Lighting_test_01d_LuxCore.crash.txt
Lighting_test_01d_LuxCore_5740_autosave.crash.txt

Windows 10 x64 (2004 19041.867)
Blender 2.92
BlendLuxCore v2.5RC1
GTX1660 (465.89)

Research direction

No source file or test is identified. First reproduce the RGB → Temperature → RGB sequence in Blender 2.92 with BlendLuxCore v2.5RC1, then inspect the two attached crash reports and compare the scene’s black or pink output. Done means the scene continues rendering correctly after switching light modes without crashing.
