P: v23 crashes on the new Intel 12th gen CPU PC.

Fore refreence I upgraded my i7 6700K CPU to a new i7 12700KF which came out this month. Photoshop 2022 has been working perfect on the old CPU and only recently I got round to using Photoshop only to find it will not load images due to a crash bug on the new CPU system.

 

I can replicate this bug  so it is definitely a bug in the 2022 version of PS currently on the Creative Cloud. I can uninstall and reinstall and still get the same issue. This bug does not exist on Photoshop 2021 having done some testing with that too.

 

If I launch Photoshop 2022 and open any image, the app crashes with no error. Just closes itself.

If I go to Task Manager in Windows with Photoshop open and then manually assign affinity to only the P-Cores of the 12700K then I can load any image and work on them no problems at all. This confirms to me that Photoshop 2022 has an issue where it crashes when Intel thread Director and WIndows 11 assign Photoshop threads to the CPU and as some will be rsiding in the E-Cores, it seems to fall over there.

 

I am continuing to use Photoshop 2021 for now until this bug can be patched in 2022!

@J453 

Hi, it is PS 23.0.1 and crashed right after opening files like PSD. I have submitted crash report with the same Email of this account. But I am wondering if it sended the report or not.

 

The crash report window sometimes freezes and disappear after few seconds, same as PS window, I am wondering they crashed together. Sometimes it will not show up, only see PS crash to desktop.

 

The issue only happens on PS 23.0.1, PS 22.5.3 does not crash under new CPU configuration.

I can reproduce this on my system. Does the app freeze first and then crash?

Hi Robbie,

Can you try a quick test for me? Try disabling the Camera Raw plug-in (by adding a tilda '~' to the front of the file name: ~CameraRaw.8bi) in the following location: /Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-ins/CC/File Formats/

 

Make sure to quit before making the change and the restart. Does the application still crash?

 

Thanks,

Adam

@J453I have tried the reg entry change (it already existed and I overwrote it as instructed), then replicated the issue but still got not crash reporter dialogue.

 

I suspect what is happening is because of the way the different cores are working on these new Intel CPUs, the crash reporter app is not detecting a crash and isn't popping up when Photoshop actually crashes. If I force Photoshop 23.0.1 to use only the P-cores of the CPU then there is no such problem but of course then I'm running Photoshop with reduced performance as it's not maximising the efficiny and power of my new CPU like it should via the use of Intel Thread Director under Windows 11.

 

Unless there is a manual way to submit a crash log then I don't know how else I can submit something to the system other than post about it here 😕😕

Crash Reporter is a separate process from Photoshop which should pop-up within roughly a minute after Photoshop crashes. You've probably dismissed the dialog in the past so it doesn't show. There are instructions in this document on how to turn it back on: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/submit-crash-reports.html

@J453Thanks for the crash report note, I don't actually get a crash report dialogue come up because as mentioned Photoshop just crashes completely out before any crash report box can appear.

 

23.0.1 has the exact same issue. Nothing in the changes for 23.0.1 address anything to do with the way CPU threads are handled either on this new P-Core E-Core architecture.

 

Here is the event log from Windows Reliability History log on the test I just did to replicate the crash:

@Robbie Khan 

I'm not seeing any submitted crash reports from you in our system. If you haven't done so already, please submit all Crash Reports along with your email address: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/submit-crash-reports.html 

You may well be seeing what @hakokoto is seeing but can't be sure without a crash report. Try updating to 23.0.1 and see if you still have a crash. If you do, submit a crash log with your email address and I can investigate.
