Hi everyone,

when I am starting Fresco on my Surface Pro 6 it crashes before I can do something. There is the loading screen and then after a few seconds it crashes without a fail report or something else.

Possible reasons?

Hello Tobi,

 

Can you share the logs from your system by collecting using these steps:

https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html

 

Also, can you try these steps:

1. Go to Creative Cloud Desktop Application

2. Press Ctrl+Alt+R

3. It will show a dialog to Relaunch

4. Click Continue and wait for 2-3 minutes

5. Launch Fresco

 

Thanks,

Rohit

I have exactly the same issue. It is independent of the device, it is a problem of  Fresco itself. I  am using Wacom One 13.

And what's more, when I can open Fresco after the crushing, I can't open any of my files, because it says they are not psd. So crazy, did I loose all my work?

Please contact us through Fresco's in-app Report A Bug link (tap the avatar icon on the Home screen then App Settings > Help > Support > Report A Bug) so we can see all of your device app information that auto-populates the email.

 

When you write us there, just mention that you posted here and I'd like you to check a couple of things to and let me know what you find:


1. Are you able to export a PSD of these drawings that are showing this error (tap the ellipses icon under the drawing thumbnail then from the More actions menu tap Export as PSD)?

2. When you sign in with your Adobe ID to https://assets.adobe.com/cloud-documents is all of the work that's on your iPad showing up there? Are any of the  drawing thumbnails blank on either your device or on the website?

3. Have you tried opening any of these files in Photoshop either on iPad or desktop from Cloud Documents?

4. I'd also like you to share with me any one of the documents that's showing this error when you try to open it. Here's how to do that:  Tap the ellipses icon (...) under the drawing then from the More actions menu tap Share link (make sure the toggle for "Allow save to Creative Cloud" is ON) and copy the link that's in that window.

 

I'll watch for your email.

 

Sue.

Hello, I am having the same issue. 
Fresco crashes as soon as it starts, the app detects that it had crashed before because it gives me the option to fill in the report of the crash and send it for diagnostics. However I have not been able to actually send it because the app crashes before I can do anything to the screen. 

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I tried reinstalling the previous version, resetting it from Settings, but nothing worked.
It is very upsetting to pay for a service and not have access to it. 

Is there any way to fix this?
I am using a Surface Pro 7 (i7, 8gb Ram)

I in a very similar boat to Alessia362. I have had the same exact thing happen to me on my surface pro 7 (the only difference is I have i5,8gb version) 

 

It appears to be an issue with compatibility on the surface pro line as my Specter x360 15' 2019 2in1 doesn't have any issue launching it.

Hi,

 

I have the same issue with Fresco crashing as soon as it opens. This issue has been going on for a month, and I have tried the solutions above, but no results.

 

I have a Surface pro 6, with the latest operating system and the most up to date version of Fresco, through a monthly cloud subscription.

 

I also have it installed on my ipad pro, where it works fine.

 

Anything to fix it?

Hi,

I recently got a new Ipad and the app was working fine until now. Whenever I try to open adobe fresco, it keeps on going back to the home screen after loading even after I restart the ipad. Should I delete the app and reinstall it or will all my progress be lost?

I am also having this problem.  I uninstalled on my Ipad Pro and reinstalled and it doesn't get passed the logo screen before it crashes out 😞  has this been resolved??

Hello Rohit,

thanks for your suggestions. I tried both options.

If I launch the Adobe log collector it tells me that it saved the log file to a folder on my desktop, but there is no saved file. The other steps also didn't work. Other ideas?

 

Thanks, Tobi

Have you checked all the System Requirements to make sure you have everything required?
Surface Pro 6 is definitely there, but it  might be worth checking all other specs with your system as well.

Hello Sjaani,

I checked all the system requirements and I think that my Surface Pro 6 has all the required hardware and software.

Other ideas to solve this issue?

 

Thanks, Tobi
