Illustrator 2019 (23.0.0) BOMBS repeatedly

Same problem! it's been crashing several times, so I'm re-installing the previous 22.1 version. There's an option within the adobe creative cloud app to download previous versions and install them. It's under the "open button" on the right, then "manage", then "other versions". It will show a list of previous versions.

Same here, lots of issues - Crashing / previewing / not enough RAM. Disappointing how unstable this update is. Can someone tell me if the files I've been working on since yesterday (the 2019 files) open up in illustrator 2018?

Same here in Italy. Continuously crashing on simplest actions. Will need to downgrade till fixes are published.

Maybe Adobe should not combine a major multiple software release with an event (Max) planned for a long time creating too much pressure on their developers. In the end it's all users now that need to do the debug. Actually that's what beta testing is for.

Some say users should be more patient skipping the very first version. But that's contradictory given the fact that it's an official release.

Same here.  Just chiming in with the rest of you.  Hope they will patch this thing soon. 

Each time Illustrator crashed for me was when I was nudging points around.

Illustrator CC 2019 is unusable.  I guess I will have to download 2018 until they figure it out.

There were Illustrator CC problems in the past with the preview crash to outline view. Tried the following (from cc 19) this morning. Figured it's worth a try until Adobe fix is released. Created and worked on an 850mb file with no crashes or "can't finish preview" message (on a MacPro).

• Click on the Finder icon on the dock, choose Go on the top> Go To Folder.
• In the Go To Folder dialog box, type "~/Library". Click Go.
• Open the Preferences Folder > Open the Illustrator 23 Settings folder-> rename the Illustrator 23 Settings folder to Illustrator 23 Settings folder.old
• Go back to library->open caches->delete com.adobe.illustrator
• Go back to library->open application support-> rename the Illustrator 23 Settings folder to Illustrator 23 Settings folder.old
• then open illustrator->click on illustrator cc->preferences->plugin and scratch disk->under secondary of scratch disks select mac HD
• then restart AI and open it again that should resolve the issue

850mb file was a bit sluggish so I turned off GPU performance and it resolved that. Smaller files were fine with GPU performance.

I'm having the same problem with both Illustrator and After effects especially when they are both open. Once they have crashed I have to restart my computer before they will open again. This is really frustrating!

I am having the same problem. Working on an easy file and the screen goes black with a box that appears that says "Can't finish previewing".  There was no crash report to send because illustrator did not crash. Just did not let me preview. I did notice that in the activity monitor there was 20gb of RAM cached.

Illustrator crashes every launch not eniught memory ... empty document..

I'm having the same issues. I'll work for about 15 – 30 minutes and then it tells me it can't preview the page because not enough RAM and then it bombs out on me. I have 32Gb of RAM in this 5k late 2015 iMac. It's running pretty smooth other than that. I think it's more responsive than the 2018 version. Just can't have constant meltdowns. I have sent each crash report though. Hopefully they'll issue a point release fix soon.
