Anyone else having the browser crash when trying to view fullscreen video? Edge Dev.

Already submitted a ticket about this, but I'm wondering if this is a wider issue. Upgraded to the latest dev build today and the browser crashes on most video websites that worked in the past. Youtube works fine, but if you fullscreen a video in a website like dailymotion, it's just a black screen and the browser crashes. Everything still works fine in the Beta build by the way.

 

Anyone want to test this for themselves and post specs? Windows 1903, Ryzen 3600, RX 580, Browser version 78.0.276.11.

Try switching off hardware acceleration in Edge settings:

edge://settings/system

if that doesn't help it, try resetting flags.
