Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash on Windows using the launch-and-wait steps and the listed display configuration, then inspect the Event Viewer report for Path of Building.exe and SimpleGraphic.dll. Done means identifying the cause of the access violation and verifying that launching and interacting with the application no longer crashes.
