Description

when launching opencode desktop on windows 10, the app window opens, but the whole screen stays completely white. the ui never shows up and the app looks like it’s stuck forever. basically, the app is unusable.

this happens right on startup and never fixes itself. there’s no loading spinner, no error message, no fallback ui, so it’s impossible to tell if the app is still trying to load or if it just failed silently.

most of the time the window opens like normal, but nothing ever renders. no buttons, no text, no ui at all — just a blank white screen. waiting longer doesn’t help, and there are no popups or warnings.

very rarely, a minimal ui does appear with only two buttons: restart and check for updates. when this happens, an error message is shown:

UnknownError
TimeoutError: The operation timed out.

clicking the buttons doesn’t seem to resolve the issue and the app still doesn’t load properly afterward.

environment:

  • os: windows 10 (64-bit)
  • app: opencode desktop
  • version: 1.1.25
  • install methods tested: desktop installer + cli

Plugins

No response

OpenCode version

1.1.25

Steps to reproduce

tried a bunch of things to fix it, but nothing worked. reinstalled the app multiple times, ran it with and without a vpn to rule out network stuff, tried installing and launching it via cli, installed it via scoop, tweaked and cleaned up path env vars, cleared app-related cache and data in %appdata% (and similar local folders), and rebooted the system between attempts. same result every time: white screen on launch.
