adobe fresco keeps crashing on startup after loading documents.

[maxb31796697]

Whenever I start up fresco it crashes right after the loading documents screen. I looked in event viewer and it told me it was an "Exception code: 0xc0000005" In the "gemini_uwp_bridge.dll" file 

I tried driver updates, reinstalling it, checking for corrupt system files, and doing a Windows Memory Diagnostic scan, but to no avail.

if I go back a Fresco version, it works but crashes after selecting brushes or brush size.

any help is very much appreciated.

Is this happening since the V4.4 update?
Seems to be an issue for a lot of people on Windows with the latest update.

Yes. I have the same problem. Fresco 4.4, Surfacebook 3, Windows 11. Crash during loding documents.

[maxb31796697]

I'm on Windows 11 adobe fresco 4.4.0. I've done some digging and it works on a fresh different user account on windows with the same admin rights. 

on the user account where it crashes on loading documents, it says in the event viewer the following 

(Faulting application name: Fresco.exe, version: 4.4.0.1188, time stamp: 0x6377dc84

It also works when I go back a version (adobe fresco) but crashes when I use the brush size settings and brushes.

I am having the same issue with the 4.4.0 version. I even updated to Windows 11 to see if it would help. Does anyone have a guess on when this will be resolved? I use this for work and am kinda stuck until this gets fixed.

Revert back to previous version rather than waiting for a resolution. That way you can continue to work.

I've been trying! It keeps telling me it fails, or try again. 

[meredithdavey]

Also having the same issue, thought it was just me! I've tried all the troubleshooting and none of it is working. Bit of a disappointment.

Having the same issue here.  I’ve tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling the software, using the previous version of the software, and updating drivers for both my Wacom screen as well as the Nvidia graphics drivers.  All to no avail.

Thanks Anubhav,

I uninstalled the current versions of Fresco and downloaded and installed v4.0 that you sent.  It opens without crashing and seems to be working okay otherwise.  Thanks for your help.

Hey.  I'd be happy to,  but it doesn't look like I have that option.
