Users reported that when creating a drawing or editing an existing drawing in Fusion, the following may occur:

The program freezes ("Not responding" notification) or requires a Force Quit.
Fusion crashes with no crash report and may cause the computer to do a full restart.

Graphics

In Preferences, change Fusion graphics driver from "Auto-select" to "DirectX 11".

In Windows, Use the Graphics Settings to force FusionLauncher.exe and AcCoreConsole to use high-performance graphics.
If Fusion is crashing when starting a drawing, first update the Intel graphics drivers for your machine. Use the Intel Driver Support Assistance auto-detection tool to check for updates.

Graphics Settings Dialog Box

In Windows, Use AMD cleanup utility to cleanup the drivers and then reinstall the GPU driver.

Note: Follow these steps to find the path where AcCoreConsole is located:

Open the Task Manager and expand the Fusion Process.
AcCoreConsole will only be listed, if a drawing is open in Fusion. (Right click and open file location)
Copy this location path to the clipboard.
