AppImages not working after last update

After updating Fedora workstation a few days ago, 2 appimages that I use for communications failed to work. When I run one of them, it opens a black screen. When running from terminal, I get:

link failed but did not provide an info log
[26159:1226/191416.178050:ERROR:shared_context_state.cc(81)] Skia shader compilation error

On the other I get:

GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 11:19:07.341: Settings schema ‘org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings’ does not contain a key named ‘antialiasing’ Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Is this the fault of the AppImage creator or Fedora?

Edit: I figured out the first one but not the second.

Yes I also received this error from the other app:

Errors:

@odelot @dn8lhsjw
This error relates to a GPU cache issue. Here’s how to fix it:
First shut down the problematic AppImage app.

Then sudo rm -r ~/.config/App_name/GPUCache where “App_name” is the name of your app.

Now reopen your AppImage and it should be working.

However, I haven’t figured out the original error I posted about.

@fdr97 Thanks!
Removing the cache indeed did help :smile:

Thanks a lot. Sometimes had that issue with the WoWUp application (a World of Warcraft addon updater) and deleting the cache did the trick.
