Hi Everyone,

I need help please. Illustrator is crashing while opening my .ai file. I did the update and tried preferences but Illustrator still crashes. It does not crash by opening another file. What can i do? Thanks.

Also experiencing this with the newest release of AI plus macOS Tahoe. Super buggy and inconsistent app use.

Hello @De Beeldige Meisjes,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Could you share a link to a sample AI file you're having trouble with after uploading it to a file-sharing service, so I can check it on my end? Also, kindly confirm the exact version of the OS/Illustrator installed, and confirm if the problem persists after moving the file to a different folder location on your computer and then opening it in Illustrator. This will enable us to investigate further.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
