Chatterino2: Chatterino closes automatically when opening the app

[vex-ol]

On my Mac with macOS Big Sur operating system version 11.0.1, the Chatterino application closes instantly as soon as the application opens, I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the application several times and the problem continues to persist, How can I solve this problem ?

Could you try the latest Nightly or beta version @vex-ol ? This is probably related to #2192

macOS (v2.2.3-beta2) crashed

I'm having the same problem. Tried the latest Nightly build too.

I've been running on the Big Sur betas for a few months with no issues (currently on 11.0.1 20B29), then suddenly yesterday the app started crashing. Didn't update macOS and didn't change Chatterino versions.

I completely cleared everything in the settings folder (~/Library/Application Support/chatterino/Settings/) and now it's working again, so I'm assuming the culprit is somewhere in there. I tried replacing the new settings files with my old ones and it started crashing again, so it's definitely related. Didn't look into it any further than that though.

Fixed it by using the latest Nightly: https://github.com/Chatterino/chatterino2/pull/2192/checks?check_run_id=1408346574

@pajlada was right, it's related to #2192 and the FFZ API change.

@erenertugrul @jam396 Could you try deleting your cache folder before trying again?
For Windows:
Delete the %APPDATA%/Chatterino2/Cache folder

For Linux:
Delete the $HOME/.local/share/chatterino/Cache folder: rm -rf "$HOME/.local/share/chatterino/Cache"

For Mac:
Delete the $HOME/Library/Application Support/chatterino/Cache folder: rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/chatterino/Cache"

I just tried the Nightly build released later today and it works now! Thanks!

Same thing is happening with me, on windows.
I use the portable version, updated yesterday to 2.2.2-fix, and continued on using yesterday without problems. Today though, when I try to open it, chatterino opens as a white screen (image below) and closes right after (about one second later)

Tried again the version 2.2.2, 2.2.1, and even 2.2.0, and the problem happens on them as well.
I also tried the latest nightly, and #2192, and deleted the cache, none of those fixed it for me.

@GabrielDuarteM Opening once with admin privileges fixed it for me

@cheich Can confirm that opening with admin privileges fixes the problem! Thanks for sharing!
