crashes for me.

Adding opengl support fixes the problem

echo skia-gl > ~/.BitwigStudio/graphics-backend

maybe add it to the PKGBUILD?

Thanks folks, for now downgrading vulkan-icd-loader and vulkan-headers also worked for me (Radeon GPU).

I've opened a ticket with Bitwig support, and they're looking into it - so at least they're aware of the issue as well as the solutions discussed in this comment section.

vtb, I'm not sure what you mean. I tried downloading the package from the archive, extracted libvulkan.so.1.4.309, renamed it to just libvulkan.so, put it in a directory, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the containing directory, and no dice

EDIT: i figured it out. you need to rename it to libvulkan.so.1 for anyone else who wants to try this themselves

Downloading the previous (1.4.309.0-1) vulkan-icd-loader and setting the path in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable when launching Bitwig also works and doesn't require downgrading the above mentioned packages. EDIT: I downloaded the package as is and extracted it, there were already symlinks in there, so I didn't have to rename anything, just set the path of the directory that contains the .so and symlinks.

I can also confirm that this works for me with a radeon APU

Thanks Gimmeapill! I confirm the downgrade works in my case as well (nvidia)

Got the issue as well (Radeon GPU)

# Problematic frame:
# C  [libvulkan_radeon.so+0x145062]

I managed to get it back by downgrading those two: vulkan-icd-loader (1.4.313.0-1 -> 1.4.309.0-1) vulkan-headers (1:1.4.313.0-1 -> 1:1.4.309.0-1)

Hello. Yesterday Bitwig was working fine. Today, when I try to launch it, it fails with the message: "Child process with PID xxxx exited with error code: 3". I checked .BitwigStudio and found a log file with this crash info: 

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007fac05579b23, pid=1613, tid=1717

I also use Hyprland with uwsm, which was updated too. Here's what I’ve tried so far: Downgraded both the kernel and nvidia-open to known working versions — no luck. Downgraded uwsm — no effect. Bitwig works if I force it to use OpenGL instead of Vulkan. Anyone else seeing this? Any tips on what might have changed between versions or how to debug further?

For anyone experiencing the same issue as I mentioned below, it was a simple file permissions issue. Solved here

With the resolution being: find ~/.u-he -type f -iname "*dialog*" -exec chmod 755 {} \;
