Issue: App crashes at random times
How to reproduce: Happens at random (sometimes every second request)
App version: 0.46.9
System: MacOS, M4 Pro, Sequoia 15.3.1
Description:
No matter what model I use the app crashes at random times.
I have tried to delete the cache from VS Code and other random solutions I searched for on forums. Today I updated to 0.46.9 hoping it would have been resolved, but it’s the same as before.
What is even worse is that every time it crashes I return to the state where I can press “Send” on my last message again, which I do, but the previous still counted towards my credits.
See screenshots for error message and Cursor version.
So, I think I resolved my issue (for now). I have been tracking the app in the console and in the terminal by running the app with GPU acceleration disabled and other different methods.
I got a lot of errors with the main problems being:
1. GPU Context Failure (ContextResult::kFatalFailure: Failed to create context.)
Even with --disable-gpu, the app is still struggling to initialize the GPU context.
2. V8 JavaScript Out of Memory (OOM) (V8 javascript OOM (CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST))
The app is running out of memory in the JavaScript engine.
3. Corrupt or Conflicting Configuration (Render frame was disposed before WebFrameMain could be accessed)
This suggests that the UI is crashing, possibly due to corrupt app data.
Solution:
Reset Cursor Data (App Configuration)
I removed Cursor’s local configuration and cache, then restarted the app:
I had to setup my Cursor settings again, and log in. I made sure NOT to enable extensions.
The app became more responsive and could run commands without issues.
Hope this helps someone… Will update if I get another crash.
