Having trouble with Gazebo9 heightmap

Hello. I am trying to build a custom world using a heightmap for one of my projects. I was able to create a heightmap successfully two nights ago, but the png file was 129 X 129 and I wanted to increase to 500 X 500. When I made new heightmap and replaced it with the working version, the program failed and I am getting the following error:

/usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp:734: typename boost::detail::sp_member_access<t>::type boost::shared_ptr<t>::operator->() const [with T = gazebo::msgs::Response; typename boost::detail::sp_member_access<t>::type = gazebo::msgs::Response*]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.

I tried reinstalling gazebo, reverting back to working version in the repository and remaking the entire heightmap model 3 times, but it either returns black screen (I am assuming I am outputting anything) or gazebo just simply crashed. I think I might have messed up the gazebo when I tried to use a heightmap with a bigger size, but I do not know how to fix this part. Could anyone give me a help with this?

For heightmaps to work with gazebo the height and width needs to be 2n+1. So for your use case the closest accepted dimensions would be 513x513.

Thank you for the comment. I tried reverting back to 129 x 129 heightmap, but the model is not still loading. Is it recommended to just start a new model from scratch?

How long did you wait for the heightmap to load?
