Quartus Prime Pro 22.1 crashes when trying to use Signal Tap Logic Analyzer

Whenever I try to start the Signal Tap Logic Analyzer in a project using the Stratix 10 DX FPGA, Quartus will unconditionally crash with one of the following stack traces. This happens a few seconds ...

So I just open the .qar project and there is significant long loading time before the Quartus load the project.

Then I can open the Signal Tap GUI and click 'create' without any design compilation.

Is the correct way to duplicate the error? If not, could you help to share the steps?


Best Regards,

The long loading times are an issue, too. Is there anything that can be done about that?

I am not sure whether that's important, but I had selected the "mm_ddr4" revision when trying to use Signal Tap. I've also noticed that *sometimes* it works without crashing (I believe about 1 in 5 times) and only crashes again after Quartus was restarted. Perhaps try restarting Quartus a few times if it doesn't occur for you.
