[JanDeDobbeleer]

@halian never seen this before. That's a golang bug apparently.

[halian]

Is it possible to force it to use a different instance of Go? If so, how?

[halian]

How do I check that? (Also I didn't get any notification about your response or that this was turned into a discussion… odd.)

[JanDeDobbeleer]

It seems to load x64, what's your processor architecture?

[halian]

x64; specifically, my CPU is a Ryzen 7 5800X.

[halian]

@JanDeDobbeleer Any ideas? ._.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@halian I missed something very important here.

Windows 7

Golang is no longer supported on Windows 7, and as that one's EOL since January 13, 2015 already, that makes perfect sense 10 years past its expiry.
