First time out of the vault

Hello, I have installed the BIS mapper alongside the other mod tools following this video from Quantum Apprentice
I realize this is a 4yr old video, but I presumed that it would still work fine as I was still able to download everything.
Anyway, everything goes well, and I open up the mapper to start playing around with it. I place some tiles, some various setting pieces, making a little scrapyard shack. However, after about 10minutes, the application crashes and closes itself. I check the m2_res cfg, confirm that the resolution matches my monitor, and proceed to mess around in the mapper some more- same problem occurs very shortly thereafter.
Next, I tried lowering my system resolution and the mapper resolution to match at 1600*900, and it won’t even start. I change the system resolution back to the default 1920*1080 while keeping the mapper at 1600, and again I can get just a few minutes in the program until it crashes.
Is there any idea why this would be happening? Running windows 11, have latest sfall installed to the copy of F2 I’m modding, mapper cfg set to 32 bit.
I have no prior experience with any of these tools, and very little with modding in general, but wanted to try my hand at it for shits and giggles. thanks in advance for the help!
