Opera keeps giving me a crash report after I close the browser and reopen it. It's not crashing. It's me closing the browser and then maybe later I'll try to reopen it to casually browse or something. Immediately upon opening it gives me a crash report of "Opera quit unexpectedly" or something and it wasn't doing that before. Please help.

Same.

Opera: 84.0.4316.21 (x86_64)
macOS: 10.14.6 (18G9323)

This is the same issue that is plaguing the current version of GitHub Desktop, and stems from a braking change in a dependency.

Same thing here for a while.

Feels weird to be beta testing a browser in this day and age

All of sudden, it keeps crashing on my Mac. It opens and closes by itself for several times and just crashes. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall it, but it's till the same. Anyone have the same problem? Any help? TIA

@mezzeta said in "unexpectedly quit" alert:

I am likewise getting that result. When I properly shut Opera down, the next time I open it, I get unexpectedly quit. Running a Mac Pro with Mojave. Maybe the OS is too old?

@mezzeta I've been getting that message too. I shut down Opera the same way I always have – by pressing Command + Q 2x. When I reopen the app, I get the "Opera unexpectedly quit" message. Started out of the blue about a week or two ago.

If you open opera using a terminal this will pop out even without a crash message
Terminal output:

libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)

it does not appear in previous versions

Been having the same problem, ever since last update (Version:84.0.4316.31 (x86_64). Have done everything "Opera" has said to do ....3x...., still having problem. Also since this started I'm having to log-in to various apps continually, instead of only logging in 1 time. Getting very frustrating. Feels like a poor Beta version. Have been using Opera for years & now considering moving to a different browser.

So far four threads about the same issue on the forum Mac first page.

I was told that updates had been disabled for older macOS until this is fixed, but that seems to not be the case as OK v83 always updates to problematic v84 for me on every launch.
