I was able to resolve it on my side by switching my rendering to the integrated graphics (Intel) instead of my discrete card (AMD).

Power saving is on the Intel chipset where high performance is on the AMD chipset.

This is still a problem. I’ve done the same thing, I changed the graphics settings, to Power Saving and it worked. It doesn’t work on High Performance. I guess this has something to do with AMD Radeon graphics cards. It was in the Not Assigned mode initially, and I guess that’s set to High Performance by default.

I haven’t made any changes to any environment variables at all. Just reinstalled the app and got a black screen after restarting it.
