Weird Startup bug

[picoo000]

Hey guys! Good to see the project moving forward.

So, this happened today:
I downloaded the latest release with the patches from itch.io...
Tried to start it through the itch interface, no luck, the icon of the game just blinks and goes away.
So, here is the log for examination for pjank42 or the other devs:

Hopefully there is some workaround as it seems to be just a small xml error, but maybe I'm wrong.
Have fun!
Cheers!

Hi :-)

By any chance that you have changed the content of images.xml under data\graphics\airlinerimages because there is an error with that file? And there should be no issues with that file in general

[picoo000]

Hey Pjank.
No, it was a fresh install, and nothing has been changed.
I’ll try to reinstall it once more by completely clearing the files.
I’ll let you know as soon as possible. ?
Cheers!

Update: solved. Somehow at the end of the .xml file there was an error with the </airlineimages>... it looked like this: </airlineimages>ges>>
Strange...

Great to hear :-)
