What's the issue you encountered?

ImHex crashes during startup with a SIGSEGV (signal 11). The crash happens every time the AppImage is executed, regardless of whether it's the first run or not. The issue appears on Arch Linux using version 1.36.2.

How can the issue be reproduced?

1. Download the ImHex AppImage (v1.36.2).
2. Grant the file execution permissions using chmod +x or use Gearlever.
3. Run the AppImage.
4. Observe the application crashing during the initial setup with SIGSEGV.

Hey, could you please try using the latest nightly build? I fixed some issues yesterday that could have caused this

Just tried, same error :/

Weird. Could you try running the application using XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 ./imhex-*.AppImage?

The crash happens somewhere deep inside of glfw and libwayland so maybe there's something up with your system configuration. Hard to say though

[cuervolu]

That fixes it. Does that mean the application doesn't work on Wayland?

[WerWolv]

ImHex works great on Wayland on my machine but yours apparently seems to have issues with it in some way. I can't seem to reproduce the same issue you're experiencing

This seems to either be an upstream bug with Wayland (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/issues/523) or an Nvidia bug of some sort.
