Editor Crashes on .riv import

[MattiaWasFound]

Using Unity 6000.1,1f1 on Windows, latest rive version (0.3.6)

It crashes when importing a .riv file. The same file imports perfectly fine on Mac - same Unity version, same rive version, same project.

Can you share the riv and rev files with us so we can take a look? You can also share them privately here if that's here.

[MattiaWasFound]

I most certainly can! For some reason I couldn't open your link. I tried to guess your email address at Rive. Hopefully you got it :)

Thank you so much!

[MattiaWasFound]

Note: The same .riv files loads on Windows in Unity 2022.3.61f1

The bug was introduced sometimes in Unity 6

Thanks, this is really helpful. We're looking into it.

[MattiaWasFound]

Hey @damzobridge, any news? Thanks!

[damzobridge]

Hi @MattiaTraverso , we're still looking into this. Curious if the crash still happens for you on v0.3.7-canary.64 ?

[SSormunen]

I have same crashing issue with 0.3.6 and also 0.3.6-canary.64 and canary.66.. with Unity 6000.1.5f1. on Windows.

Really frustrating.. We have project deadline coming up soon and adding Rive support is crucial.. and we cannot fallback to older unity version either.

Any details what might be causing this or any tested and working Unity library version?

[SSormunen]

Ohh.. actually this was my bad! also @MattiaTraverso note that you must configure Unity to use DX11 only! It will crash if using DX12.
Project settings -> Player -> Other settings -> Disable "Auto graphics API for Windows" and remove DX12 or move DX11 to top..

Hope this helps! It surely allowed me to import .riv files without crashes..

[3k3m1n1]

just coming in to say v0.3.7 did fix the editor crash issue for me! thank you!

i got the same crash log as @MattiaTraverso today while trying to build my Unity 6000.0.51f1 project with a Windows runner in GitHub Actions. (for some reason this never happened while building on my own Windows PC.)

Crash!!!

found this thread, updated from v0.3.6 to v0.3.7 via the manifest.json, and got a console message right away about the Rive file that seemed to be crashing the asset importer in the GH action. it asked me to reimport that file, so i did with no issues. then i pushed the manifest update, ran the action again and the build succeeded!
