First, it is a Public Beta release, not a Public Final Release. There will be more Beta versions, e.g. Beta 2, & Beta 3. Beta Release to public are intended for getting bugs reported by end users under different scenario. How can it damage Blackmagic reputation? All the software are first released as Public Beta for testing purpose. It is a right and responsible thing to do. Using a Beta version as a production suite is a naive thing to do.
I had gpu memory issue, but only with a few of the Boris Continuum and Red Giant Universe plugins. It is not a final product so these kind of bugs are expected. I am sure Blackmagic have not tested out the Beta version with every plugin out in the market.
I had a directory crash issue too. I posted it in another thread. This was due to improper permissions to Resolve. You need to Define a Default disk in the Preferences configure CacheClip and Gallery directories in the Settings, and give a read-write permission to Resolve. This is was the issue in my case.
