I rebooted my PC to install the latest windows update (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/february-8-2022-kb5010342-os-builds-19042-1526-19043-1526-and-19044-1526-bd5c4434-bec4-42e9-991d-5810d4ec52d9), and after said update, the GE no longer is able to start up. The editor starts to load, goes into a (Not Responding) state, hangs and never opens.

Install version: GIANTS_Editor_9.0.2_win64

I have tried removing and reinstalling GE, I have tried starting both by attempting to open a valid .i3d file, as well as attempting to open editor.exe directly from the Program Files directory. Neither work.

It might make zero difference, but have you tried "run as administrator?"

@Ed Propsner - thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that didn't help. Same error when running as administrator.

Mines also not working. Started off all good and now it wont finish opening.. Ive just gone back to 9.0.1 and works fine

@Mark: Are you running the most current version of the game? This is fairly common if you updated GE to it's most current version but not the game. A while back they pushed through an update mostly around shaders and GE 9.01 instantly had issues with it. Updating to 9.02 fixed this. With that being said, it would make sense that your game version is still pre-patch if reverting back to 9.01 fixes the issue. I'm not saying this IS the issue, but I had the same problem as well as many others and this mismatch in versions was the cause. Depending on how/where you purchased/downloaded the game, it may not have updated itself. It's worth a shot to check it out.

Last night i was able to use 9.0.2 but this morning i just get it saying starting, try to import and it crashes

It's possible that depending on what you were working on last night, the i3d might now contain an error keeping it form opening, especially if you were working with 3rd party mods/placeables or making direct edits to the i3d or dependent files. These types of issues don't become evident until you save your work and reload your project (when you closed GE and came back to it in the morning). What does the GE error log say?
