@MrCash812 @hedigrrr1

Are there specific circumstances under which this error occurs?
Is this always occuring when you attempt to export .fbx?
What specific version of Blender were you using?
What other versions of Blender have you tested?

Those affected by the issue, could you please check the following:

Switch to the scripting workspace.
Type x = "Test" into the console and press enter.

Type `print('\nFBX export starting... %r' % x)` into the console and press enter.

Are you getting the same error?

Unfortunately, using the console was of no use, as I still receive the error. I also don't have any viruses/malware on my system as far as windows defender has reported to me.

edit: after a deeper scan, I found that the detection and removal of, "Trojan:Win32/Racealer.AD!MTB" fixed my issue. That is to say, the most likely cause of this issue by this point is the existence of malware on your system.

Since there appears to be an indication this issue is caused by malware, please make sure that Microsoft Defender or another AV software is used to scan your entire system. Once the malware is found and removed be sure to update all your passwords, as*Trojan:Win32/Racealer.AD!MTB// steals login credentials and cookies.

I am having a very similar issue on Linux Mint. I'm including both my error report and the file in question.

bathysphere.005.blend

bathysphere.005.crash.txt

The only unique thing I've noticed is that my model contains several instanced objects, but realizing them still gives me the same bug. Exporting to OBJ and DAE works fine.

This is a bit of a concern, as I'm intending to use this model in a game engine that requires FBX files, and I've never had trouble before. Attempting to export results in a full crash.

I'm using Linux Mint 20.3 with a GTX 1660 graphics card and proprietary drivers.

My final terminal output after rendering to FBX is this:

FBX export starting... '/home/michael/Documents/models/Bathysphere/bathysphere.005.fbx'

@rjg
Will do, it seemed relevant. I think I may have gotten to the bottom of it—having a vertex parent in an export results in a full segmentation fault, just in case it helps the people on this forum.
