android - Emulator does not start (c066d201: unhandled exit 1d)

Question

After I deleted some old AVDs and creating a new one, I cant get any AVD to start. If I start them through Android-Studio, the AVD window will launch but the screen stays black and Android-Studio stops responding. If I start the AVD through the command line with the following command:

./emulator @Pixel_3_Api_19

The behaviour is the same and I get the following output in the console:

emulator: WARNING: encryption is off
emulator: WARNING: Running on a system with less than 6 logical cores. Setting number of virtual cores to 1
emulator: WARNING: EmulatorAdvertisement.cpp:80: Overwriting existing discovery file: /Users/koljenka/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/avd/running/pid_2730.ini
c066d201: unhandled exit 1d
c066d201: unhandled exit 1d
c066d201: unhandled exit 1d
c066d201: unhandled exit 1d

The c066d201: unhandled exit 1d line is printed constantly.

I'm running a 2017 MacBook Pro with MacOS Big Sur Dev Beta, but i had the emulator running fine on the dev beta before deleting the old AVDs.

Use option -gpu host.

You run emulator correctly like this

~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator -gpu host -avd Pixel_2_API_30

or try this:

create a file named advancedFeatures.ini in ~/.android

Put following settings in it:

Vulkan = off GLDirectMem = on
