R session aborts on loading rgl package after update and reinstall

[rowseydm]

I performed a fresh reinstall/update (deleting both %localappdata% and %appdata%) of Rstudio and R. I installed Rtools and the rgl package, seemingly fine. However, whenever I try to load rgl, the R session aborts and I am prompted to restart. R specs:

The version of RStudio I am using is:
RStudio 2022.02.2+485 "Prairie Trillium" Release (8acbd38b0d4ca3c86c570cf4112a8180c48cc6fb, 2022-04-19) for Windows

rgl loads fine when using R outside of RStudio. I was able to replicate this problem on another system following the same steps (both running Windows 10). No session log is generated so I can't use that to help diagnose the issue.

Please let me know if there is additional information I can provide to facilitate diagnosing the issue. Thanks.

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?

It might be this issue with loading rgl in R 4.2 on Windows: rgl crashes in RStudio · Issue #11043 · rstudio/rstudio · GitHub. Try one of the workarounds of either installing the latest development version of rgl, or adding options(rgl.debug = TRUE) to your .Rprofile until the next release of rgl makes it to CRAN.

This solution worked. Thank you Greg!

See Greg's response below - it worked for me.
