hi! everytime i open the game it gives me this screen and it sucks because i so badly want to play the game :( im not sure how to fix it and was wondering if anyone knows how to or am i cooked lol 😭
I see I'll try to see if I can fix this could you specify if this was for windows,mac or linux and if it's alright could you send me the Copy BBcode text? (just press that button and it will copy the text and just paste it here!) I'm so sorry this happened! T-T I'll try and get it fixed asap!
(Also for a quick fix I recommend either relaunching the game or if that doesnt work go into the game files and go into the action editor file then deleting the translation files for the chinese translation)
ofc! its for mac and heres the bb code:
(im so sorry to be bothering you with this! it usually doesn't happen but sometimes it does 😭)

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

No worries! Hmm for a quick fix you should try going to the tl file inside ActionEditor3-master and deleting the chinese files and the japanese files Im pretty sure that will fix the issue.
Though I'm planning on making a quick update that will hopefully solve it without having to do that! Please tell me if that works and once again no worries at all!
