Hello,

I was curious about Rive so I downloaded the extension but the project crashes anytime I try to run it.

Can anyone help with this?

The console message:  
WARNING:RESOURCE: Unable to create resource: /defold-rive/assets/pls-shaders color\_ramp.vpc: DDF\_ERROR  
ERROR:RIVEEXT: Failed to load resource ‘/defold-rive/assets/pls-shaders/color\_ramp.vpc’

I came across the same problem and reported it in this thread:

As I mentioned, you can try Rive within Defold by using older versions of Defold and the Rive extension.  
However, although these older versions successfully ran my game from the editor, exporting to desktop and Web both failed.
