I've analysed the crash reports associated with your account and you seem to be running into an issue with custom cursors. You should be able to workaround by simply disabling custom cursors in the in-game graphics settings. I have added this to the backlog to be looked at.

Is there anything about your system you can think of that might be unusual relating to cursors? Or something that might have changed if it is a recent issue? (Nothing has changed on our end with that system) Does it still happen when OBS is not running? Also noticed youve got several AHK scripts running, does it still happen with those all closed? Do you have anything else that may be hooking into the game (screen recording, antivirus, game helper tools, overlays, etc)?

its just a feature now. that error message has been a thing for like 4 months for a variety of reasons and no update since june acknowledging it

The error message is meaningless and unconnected to the point where it might as well not be displayed, and in fact we have removed it for new installations. At some point this will be applied to existing installations. Think of it like the windows 'application has stopped working' dialog

thank you so much for investigating this. i do have some more info if it helps:

if i log in and wait about 5-10 extra seconds, many of the ingame objects in the world change color as if a shader has been applied. after that i am able to play the game normally again. so maybe some of the shaders just arent loading properly at first and then have to re-load after logging in, or something like that.

after this, re-launching the game again did not have this issue again unless the game was closed for several hours

thanks for the tip. i will resort to this if waiting a few seconds after logging in as mentioned earlier stops working as a workaround. not having the cursor change depending on what im pointing at feels like im playing blindfolded lol

nope, default windows 10 cursors as ive always used

something that might have changed if it is a recent issue

it is a recent issue, but nope nothing has changed as far as im aware

Does it still happen when OBS is not running

yes. in fact i only opened OBS to record the bug for you

Also noticed youve got several AHK scripts running, does it still happen with those all closed

good eye ;) i will test that next time my game starts acting up, as i mentioned that i need to close the game for a while before it starts happening again. though i doubt they are causing the problem as they are just macros for other games like skyrim, macros that launch various games (quite nifty to have imo), and one that has a keybind that sets any window to fullscreen borderless mode by setting the size of the window to the size of the display and stripping the boarder off (which i dont use on rs)

Do you have anything else that may be hooking into the game (screen recording, antivirus, game helper tools, overlays, etc)?

besides Alt1 toolkit, no. i will also test that next time this happens

Thanks this is great info!

This is the irradiance calculation, where some background rendering takes place to improve lighting. It's very interesting you only see the cursor crash while this is in progress.

Can you make it crash after teleporting to a new area (irradiance calculation will occur again on teleport), as well as when loading into the game fresh?
