Hello Antigravity Team,
I would like to report a startup issue that began recently. Antigravity no longer launches normally on my system.
System Information
- Antigravity Versions Tested: v2.4.2 ,v2.3.0 and v2.2.1
- Operating System: Windows 11 Insider Preview 25H2 (OS Build 26200.8875)
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU
- NVIDIA Driver: 610.74
Issue
When launching Antigravity normally, the application never opens successfully. The language server starts correctly, but the Electron frontend fails during GPU initialization.
The logs consistently show:
GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit_code=-2147483645
FATAL: GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.
Logs
The language server starts successfully:
Language server version: 2.3.0
Language server listening on random port...
The issue appears to occur only when Electron attempts to create the application window.
Troubleshooting Performed
I have already tried the following:
- Reinstalled Antigravity
- Downgraded from v2.3.0 to v2.2.1
- Deleted AppData cache, GPUCache, Code Cache, and Local Storage
- Updated and verified NVIDIA drivers
- Verified required Windows DLLs (
d3dcompiler_47.dll,vulkan-1.dll) - Tried multiple Electron launch flags including:
--disable-gpu--use-angle=swiftshader--disable-gpu-compositing
- Verified that other Electron applications (such as Cursor) work normally on the same machine.
None of the above resolved the issue.
Temporary Workaround
The application only launches successfully when started with the following command:
Antigravity.exe --disable-gpu --no-sandbox --disable-gpu-sandbox --disable-direct-composition --disable-features=CalculateNativeWinOcclusion
With these flags, Antigravity starts normally and all functionality appears to work correctly.
Request
Could you please investigate whether this is a compatibility issue between Antigravity’s Electron build and Windows 11 Insider Preview (25H2, Build 26200.8875)
If there are any additional diagnostic logs or test builds that would help, I’d be happy to provide more information.
Thank you for your time and support.
Best regards,
Pulkit Tiwari
