Debilitating Crash

Well I have been using the Beta flawlessly for awhile now until recently when I have gotten a debilitating crash. When I load a project (any project, new and existing) I get a "send error report" shortly after the scene loads. Since it happens on all projects I figured that maybe something in the engine got messed up, so I tried reinstalling but it still crashes upon loading. My friend can run the same code through a repository without fail, so I'm guessing that it might be a random system setting that I may have modified unknowingly. Is there anything you can think of that might affect this?

I had something similar happen. The cause was that I had packaged a game in the same directory I'd developed it in. After that, it was crashing TGB. The solution was to modify the global prefs.cs file to remove the default project from it, and then everything was fine.

Dunno if your problem is the same, but this fixed mine.

Hmm... it was worth a try, but that's definitely not my problem. Thanks for the quick response.

Haha, good. Something must have gotten screwed up with the application settings; deleting the "user\Aplication Data\Garage Games\" folder solved the problem.
