Description: [LibreOffice & 25.2.1.2] : ["soffice.bin" crash is observed while launching Libreoffice app] Steps to Reproduce: 1. Deploy Latest OS 2. Perform windows and store updates 3. Download the LibreOffice Application 4. Launch the application 5. Observe soffice.bin crash. Actual Results: LibreOffice application getting crash "soffice.bin" while launching. Expected Results: Applications should be launched without any issue. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: N/A
Please paste here the information on Menu/Help/About LibreOffice (There is an icon to copy)
We got crash issue when launching the App. So we cannot check Menu/Help/About LibreOffice (There is an icon to copy). If you are asking about the App version, it is v 25.2.1.2
Then try repairing the installation in the Add/Remove programs (Operating system). If it doesn't work. Remove the profile, https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile Launch again the app. From where the app was downloaded?
The information we need is the "source" of your installation packaging. Did you install using The Document Foundation (TDF) community build from a project mirror as selected: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/ And, did you *verify* the downloaded installation package's Hash value? It can be found listed on that web page via the 'Info' link for the download. Did you install the program from a Windows account in the 'Administrators' group, or just a 'Users' group member with limited permissions to fully install software?
Hi Team, We have installed the Libre Office application using [TDF] community build from Mirror List We installed the program/app from a Windows account in the 'Administrator' group. We could not find the exact Hash value for downloaded application. At the web page via the 'Info' link we are seeing 04 has values. So, we could not tell which is the exact hash value for installed/downloaded application. I cannot upload the screenshot here. Please let me know how to share the picture with you. Thanks!

Hi Team, We checked. The value matches what you have listed. But we still could repro the bug. What else shall we do?

Hi Team, can you please help to take a look at my previous reply? Thanks!
Well, a good probability it is the Windows skia based Vulkan GPU rendering testing, follow project update from skia m116 to m130 for 25.2.0 See also bug 166122 Still need info of what build release of Windows, and what graphics processor are you working with, and what is its driver release and support of Vulkan?
Hi, The Windows version that the bug could repro is on all Windows 11. While the GPU info: Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: GeForce GT 610 Is the above info helpful? Thanks!

While > the GPU info: Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 > Manufacturer: NVIDIA > Chip type: GeForce GT 610 > > Is the above info helpful? Thanks! Yes, helpful. Suspect the GeForce GT 610 is not able to run skia Vulkan--at all-- and should be denylisted to bypass LibreOffice's skia Vulkan graphics testing. nVidia lists no valid drivers, and Vulkan GPU Info (https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/ ) shows no reports for that GPU. Win11 24H2 update to WDDM 3.2 could also be an issue with rollback to MS provided WDDM 2.x drivers. A run of Win11 dxdiag.exe will show the WDDM model the GPU can support. For 25.8.0 and bug 164788, https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/181290 will now recover more gracefully after initial rendering test. For OP, please install /a administrative instance in parallel and retest launch. If stable, with WDDM 2.x drivers you should end up with skia raster framing with LibreOffice Help -> About showing: Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e4fb32ffef1630ceaf5a0a77307e02ae93c9f8f4 CPU threads: 28; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26100); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded or at worse, need to manually disable Skia lib based rendering and fall back to GDI+ based rendering.

Thanks for the detailed info. We will try on different GPUs and will let you know.
