Crash when inporting blender project

[Cheddar-Fox]

I told Armor paint where blender application is located in my OPT folder and when I select import for the project it crashes right away.

Also tried moving the blender program to my desktop to make sure it was not a permissions probolem, directed armor paint to it, and still nope.

Also tried a more simple project (default cube) but it still crashes.

I am using a 1050 TI with the 580 driver
Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit
6.17.0-22-generic Kernal
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor × 6 CPU
Linux Vulkan Render
ArmorPaint.org - v1.0 alpha 2026/04/11 8f273f7

I should mention instead of installing blender though the software manager in mint, because that version had crashing issues on my machine for the avatar i had to work on, so i had to download the latest version and install it somewhat manually. I'm using blender 5.1.0 at the moment.

Seems to work as usual here. :( Will try to test on more devices soon.

I have this issue as well. I tried using both Blender from my package manager and the compiled Blender build from blender.org.

Importing meshes causes the program to crash instantly and importing materials imports a broken, black material

I was having a similar issue, but was then able .blend without issue. After testing and I have managed to make ArmorPaint crash on import again.

If I remove the tmp.obj file from the ArmorPaint/data/ directory it will crash. Running through the terminal it will successfully create a tmp.obj, this also causes it not to crash. So it may be a linux specific issue with permissions or path?

The blender plugin(fixed if I put tmp.obj in the directory) also crashes, I included the output in the terminal if it assits with the above.

Also sorry to dev for the duplicate issue post, ill use more vague terms next time so i don't miss overlap :)
