Crashes in Illustrator 28 on macOS Sonoma 14.5

Illustrator 28 on MacOS Sonoma 14.5 been crashing for weeks. I've installed various updates to v28.

 

It happens even after a fresh boot when nothing else is running. Usually during any kind of file operation (save, open, place, export), but I've also known it to happen when moving an object.

 

Mac Studio Ultra, 128Gb ram.

Update: installed Illustator 29.0: exact same problem. Crashes all the time.

 

I disabled auto-save and the problem went away immediately. Haven't crashed since.

    Hold on Adobe: "disable autosave" is NOT the correct answer. It's a Workaround. Can you get the autosave code fixed so that my Ilustrator stops crashing and I still hgave autosave?

    Is this about autosave (for Cloud documents)

    Or about file recovery?


    It was about the option "Automatically save recovery data every"... (so not cloud documents). But I've already crashed since, so...

    What's in your files?

    Where do you save files?

    Is a printer connected, turned on and set up as the default printer?

    I'm saving files locally to my internal SSD.

    I've known tis to happen with every file I have: from a single artboard with 1 object, or 24 HD artboards with linked assets.
