Whenever launching a recent build RPCS3 crashes on startup.
Occurs on builds: v0.0.2-5271 (2017-07-16), rpcs3-spurs-scheduler3
Build that works fine: v0.0.2-5414-4b431543

Delete Guiconfig folder

[GingerAdonis]

Unfortunately that doesn't fix this fatal error.

[SakataGintokiYT]

What firmware you have installed

[GingerAdonis]

The latest firmware. I highly doubt that the installed firmware matters for this issue, but I might be wrong.

[SakataGintokiYT]

4.81 ?

[GingerAdonis]

Yes

[SakataGintokiYT]

Did you try delete config.yml and data folder

[GingerAdonis]

Deleting config.yml and games.yml makes RPCS3 start fine yes. When restoring both files afterwards, it doesn't crash anymore either, which is odd.

I'll keep the issue open as I don't think configs should crash the application.

Thanks for your help. :)

[Mhmmm]

I think you should always delete configs and data folder when updating the emulator.

Needs removing guiconfig/config related files, specially after the gui revamp. I think it's a wontfix

[isshininu]

It is necessary to renew settings after each major update.
Who will ever considered this as a bug?

If similar issues pop up, please save a copy to this issue so that I can fix the crash. This crash is annoying in that it is almost impossible to replicate, but once it replicates, it'll always replicate. So, it's really hard to find as a contributor. Thanks all!
