Hi bro, I just tried your latest version of Tiled. I opened the Tiled editor and it opened then closed again. No error message. I googled around and I saw one of your post about deleting the python plugin. When I did that it worked again. I'm a developer so I have quite a few python versions installed. Could that be the problem?

I thought I should let you know. 

I guess some versions of Python could definitely cause that problem. It would be worth to look into automatically disabling the plugin when this affects many users. Do you remember where you read about deleting the Python plugin?

I read your post on here.

Ha, that's funny. Well, good to know another person is having this problem. I'll really have to see if I can reproduce it and to find some workaround, because we can't have Tiled crashing on startup of course.

I can try and uninstall python and see what happens. Then reinstall it using the default recommended installation paths. I currently have python installed like this and it may be the problem. I can check and let you know. 


Okay, so I uninstalled python as well as Tiled 1.2.1. Reinstalled Tiled and Python all at there default paths (C:\Users\user1\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36 ; C:\Users\user1\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37)
and everything worked fine. 

Okay, this is weird. So I may have reproduced the error. It has to do with the environment variables. 

Tiled 1.2.1 does not open once you have python 3.6.6 as the main Python System Path Variable. 

Tiled 1.2.1 does this weird thing 

However, if you change the System Path Variable of Python to any other version, Tiled 1.2.1 works perfectly. 



I hope this helps you. Also worth noting that I reinstalled python to C:\Python\Python366 and C:\Python\Python371 respectively. However, I doubt this causes the problem with the System Variable Paths.
