RoundedTB not launching on startup

[ghost]

I have this problem where my laptop starts but then I wait for RoundedTB to launch but when I check in the system tray it just closes and when I try to run it from file explorer it also crashes. I hope this problem is fixable, pls help me.

If this is happening, that means its silently crashing. I assume you've installed it from GitHub; can you send me your config file? (located at %localappdata%/rtb.json)

How should I send the file @torchgm

[torchgm]

You can just post it here, that's fine!

[ghost]

@torchgm I tried dragging and dropping it, it said that the file is not supported.

[torchgm]

If you drag-and-drop the rtb.json file into Notepad, you can then copy-and-paste the contents of it here.

[ghost]

@torchgm I just did what you said and there was nothing inside of the file.

[torchgm]

Ah, well that's probably the issue! Delete the file entirely, close RoundedTB, then try re-opening RoundedTB. It should recreate the file and start normally.

[ghost]

@torchgm ok I'll try that

[ghost]

@torchgm Thank you for helping me

[torchgm]

I'll reopen this since it is still an issue! Having the app silently crash if the config is blank isn't normal behaviour lol; I'll try and get it fixed for the next release. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

I am experiencing the same issue, I can't even launch the app after auto start fails.

Deleting rtb.json from %localappdata% and restarting worked for me! Definitely try it if you are having trouble.

For those who are working on this: for some reason when I opened rtb.json in a text editor it showed up as missing unicode characters like this:

Upon deleting and restarting, the file was fine again.

Here is my rtb.log after the delete:

%localappdata% is not where this file is located on win11 22h2 with the windows store app. Does anyone know the new location of the file?

[LABSTORM-MG]

on my pc its at: %localappdata%\Packages\14082CryzenTechnologies.RoundedTB_6b5yntewjra3r\RoamingState

There is a program from voidtools called "Everything" that allows you to search the entire system.... Pretty handy for this type of cases :)
