Corrupted Definition? - Rhino Crashing on Opening

I was working on this project file last night, however when I came back to it this morning every attempt to open it results in Rhino+Grasshopper crashing. I made a few incremental saves last night over a few hours however these files are also un-operable.

It does not seem to be like previous reasons I have encountered a crash i.e - saved the file with a highly complex definition and large amount of computation to do on opening, Rhino just instantly closes.

(Other projects open without issue).

The definition is visible in the thumbnail at the GH opening screen when it is moused over.

I cant appear to find a crash-log, however I might not be looking in the right place?

I have attached my file but warning because I guess it is highly likely to crash your application too..

Any help would be really appreciated though.

Best

Matt

That file contains components from all sorts of plugins I haven't got installed:

Weaverbird
Anemone
Kangaroo
Sandbox Topology
Human
Bifocals
MeshEdit Components

However when the file opens without those plugins it obviously works because so many parts are missing.

This does not mean that the fault lies with one of those plugins.

Step 1 is to disable the solver before opening the file. This means GH won't attempt to calculate anything. If GH still crashes, then there's little you can do, I'll have to install all those things and try to repeat it.

If however the crash is contingent on computing the solution rather than opening the file, then you can open the file in locked mode, disable all components, and slowly start to re-enable them left to right until you find the one that causes the crash.

Great, locking the solver did the trick as I wasn't needing to recover the whole deffiniton, just a small peice of logic that i couldn't recall how I had done it the first time!

Thanks David!
