I can consistently cause it by picking the transform tool and flailing arround, but sometimes it happens with the pen tool aswell (haven’t tested with other tools). My system doesn’t support Vulkan so I’m using OpenGL.
Sometimes it instantly closes (leaving no crash report), but sometimes the screen freezes and the application remains interactable. When the latter happens I can move arround the window and interact with UI, but the screen won’t update so I can’t see what I’m doing. I only know the UI works because my cursor will change in response like normal. Also any popups will be fully transparent, just leaving the windows border.
Here’s my system info from a forced crash if it’s any use:

Hi, if you can, please go to windows Event Viewer, go to administrative events and find PixiEditor on the list. It should be listed with an error and more info about the crash

When it freezes I get:
Display driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
When it crashes I get two errors:

consistently seems to be SkiaApi?
Thanks for the logs, it looks like the crashes have something to do with how OpenGL implementation in PixiEditor interacts with your graphics driver. It could be a bug in PixiEditor or an issue with your specific driver, we’ll try to look into it
For now I can suggest trying to update the GPU drivers, but I can’t promise that it will help
Update:
My computer’s manufacturer had locked my graphics driver to the last version they considered compatible. But I force updated them anyways and it seems to be fine (I think HP just couldn’t be bothered to test it). I FINALLY HAVE VULKAN SUPPORT!!!
Anyways, it doesn’t crash on the Vulkan version, but when I switch it back to OpenGL it still crashes with no differences. So I’m guessing there’s something wrong with the implementation if the 2025 driver still breaks (still an ancient igpu though so who knows)
interesting, thank you, it’s possible that there is an issue with our opengl implementation, it’s not as well tested as the vulkan one
