GTS crashes when importing images to trace on windows 11

[guynullval]

As the title says, when I try to use GTS to trace images (that have been digitally drawn) it crashes.
I learned through debugging it in vs 2022 that this exception was thrown:
Unhandled exception at 0x0076B48E in gts.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000068.
