Hello, I love this program and was previously using v0.501, but this newer version doesn't seem to open for me.

I get this error message (image below) when I open the program on both the installer or standalone.

When I click yes to follow through, and save the project, it then gives me this message:

When I click No, it just doesn't even open. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for the report! Glad to hear that you love the tool ^^

I believe the problem is the preferences.dat file not being correctly converted to the new .ini format. For now if you delete the file NAW should open correctly. Let me know if that is the case. It should be located at:

C:\Users\Windows 10\AppData\Local\NostalgicAssetsWorkshop\preferences.dat

I'm taking a look if I can fix the conversion and will update the status here.

edit: Hotfix uploaded. Please let me know if that fixes it. Thank you very much!
