Can you reproduce it (exact steps to reproduce):

No

Impact for my app: [e.g. x% of the users complained about it, it’s a show-stopper]

High (34K instances , about 8K DAU, mostly Intel Quick sync users)

Do you currently have a workaround?

No

Hi!
We’re looking into this, and will update here as it progresses.

It seems like this might be caused by the users having a relatively old GPU driver version.
They can update those here. If it still happens afterwards, we’ll need the new logs after that.
