Critical Bug: Antigravity 2.0 instantly crashes on startup (Sandbox STATUS_BREAKPOINT)

Hi Antigravity Development Team,

I am reporting a critical startup crash with the Antigravity 2.0 IDE on Windows. When I launch the application, it loads for about 2 seconds and then silently terminates without showing any UI or error popups. Reinstalling the 2.0 did not fix the issue.

I ran some diagnostics with ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=1 and found that the underlying Chromium sandbox is violently rejecting the GPU process initialization.

Crash Details:

  • The Electron sandbox throws this error instantly on launch: [ERROR:content\browser\gpu\gpu_process_host.cc:999] GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit_code=-2147483645

  • It attempts to restart the GPU process 9 times in a fraction of a second.

  • It finally hits a fatal breakpoint and terminates: [FATAL:content\browser\gpu\gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc:415] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

System Environment:

  • OS: Windows

  • GPU: NVIDIA (Latest Drivers)

  • Antivirus: Windows Defender Only

  • Exploit Protection: Default (NOTSET across the board, no forced CFG)

  • Overlays: None (No Discord, MSI Afterburner, etc.)

Workarounds Tested:

  • Launching with --disable-gpu, --disable-software-rasterizer, and --disable-gpu-compositing failed (the sandbox still hit the exact same STATUS_BREAKPOINT and crashed).

  • Launching the shortcut with --no-sandbox successfully bypasses the crash and allows the to run perfectly.

Because this is a STATUS_BREAKPOINT (-2147483645) error that ignores standard GPU-disabling flags, it appears to be a deep OS-level Sandbox conflict in the version of Electron currently bundled with Antigravity 2.0. (I experienced the exact same sandbox crash with another Electron app, Wispr Flow, on the same machine).

I am currently using --no-sandbox as a temporary workaround to get my work done, but could you please investigate updating the Electron framework or pushing a patch to resolve this sandbox incompatibility?

Thank you!
