XD Codediting documents crashing my machine if I use audio chat (Meet, Slack etc).

Yesterday my Mac began crashing during video calls. Usually it takes out the app itself first. Then if I try again it takes out the whole OS. I realised today that it is happening exactly as I open any XD doc that has co-editing enabled. Tested this morning by opening XD and Photoshop. Viewing local files and Cloud files fine. As soon as I opened a co-edit enabled XD file Slack started throwing network errors and it crashed. Then my whole OS crashed.

    Well after no other response I attemped a clean install of my OS then installed XD. 
    Machine crashed immeditaley. Was about to order a new machine as I figured it must have been a harware issue.

    As a last minute gambit I used the system profiler and realised that my network traffic and CPU were both crazy high as a baseline. I started googling any errors that were jumping out in my error logs. 

     

    I realised that I needed to restet the NVRAM. It worked!

    Hi Rishabh.

     

    Thanks for your fast response. I am unable to work and up against a tight deadline.

     

    I have wiped my hard drive and done a clean install and I seem to still be having the same issue.

    It's very odd and seems to have started happening out of the blue.

     

    XD Version: 36.1.32.5

    OS Version 11.1 Big Sur
