Hi Vincent,

thanks for reporting, and welcome to the FWsim community forum.

When FWsim crashes, what happens exactly? What do you see on the screen? If there are any error messages, please tell me their exact text.

Hi Lukas,

Thank you for your reply.

The crashes happen randomly while editing.

Sometimes when I click Create New Show, FWSim freezes for a few seconds and then crashes.

Sometimes while editing or modifying an effect, it freezes and crashes.

Sometimes while saving a show, Windows shows “Not Responding” for a long time.

Sometimes while exporting a video, it also crashes.

There is usually no error message. The program just freezes and then closes.

I also noticed that after restarting my laptop, FWSim usually works for a while, but after closing the game,and play again,the freezing and crashing happen again.

Sometimes the mouse movement becomes very stuttery when I move the camera in the 3D view, even in a simple scene,but sometimes normal.

I have already tried:

Reinstalling FWSim

Verifying the game files on Steam

Updating my NVIDIA driver

Restarting my laptop

My laptop has an RTX 3050 Laptop GPU, 16 GB RAM, and about 230 GB of free storage on the drive where FWSim is installed.

Thank you for your help.
