FAQ: Windows App Crashes on Launch (v3.4.7 & v3.4.8)
Some customers may experience a crash when launching the Bodyswaps Windows app (versions 3.4.7 or 3.4.8). The app may briefly show the Bodyswaps logo with exclamation before closing.
Who is affected
This issue:
-
Only affects Windows devices
-
Occurs on managed or enterprise networks
-
Is related to automatic proxy detection (WPAD / PAC) settings
Home or unmanaged networks are not impacted.
Cause
This is a confirmed Unity engine bug, not an issue with the Bodyswaps application. Unity is the underlying technology used to build the Bodyswaps app. The current issue is caused by a bug in Unity itself, not the Bodyswaps application.
Due to how Windows handles proxy auto-detection, the issue cannot be fixed within the app. A permanent fix is pending from Unity.
Workaround (Required IT Configuration)
Until Unity releases a fix, affected customers should apply the following workaround at the device or policy level:
Option 1: Disable automatic proxy detection
Disable Windows “Automatically detect settings” for proxy configuration.
This should be applied by IT using one of the following:
-
Group Policy
-
Microsoft Intune
-
Device image or configuration profile
Option 2: If proxy auto-configuration is required
If your organisation must continue using a PAC file:
-
Ensure the PAC script always returns an explicit value (for example:
DIRECT;) -
Avoid empty or ambiguous return values
Important notes
-
This issue cannot be resolved by Bodyswaps in-app
-
Windows does not support per-application proxy settings
-
Firewall rules or endpoint whitelisting do not resolve the issue
Status
-
Temporary workaround available
-
Permanent fix pending from Unity
