[Solved] Crash on map open

[TurtleToaster]

I saw there was an update so i decided to work on my custom map for a bit, but my editor crashes a second or 2 after I click the open map button. It doesn't even bring up a list it just starts loading something. It seems to crash when loading a certain map or model or something?

EDIT: ok I think the problem is that for some reason when opening the map selector it's instead going through folder with the models I've downloaded from hive, so messed up pathing I guess? any way how to fix that?

Try opening the map directly from it's location maybe? Or maybe change its directory.

If it's a corrupt asset you could try making a copy of that map, delete all the assets with with MPQ editor then try opening the copied version.

Iirc that pop-up shows up when World Editor is preparing its "new" Open Map menu, it searches through all the folders of the last directory it opened.
It doesn't crash here for me even though I have at least a couple thousand things in there so I guess that folder of yours is really stacked.

You have two options imo:

1. Move most non-map things away from the folder World Editor is trying to load (your screenshot should provide you some hints at what that folder is)

2. Use Regedit to change WorldEdit's "Last Open Directory" to another path

You can find the value to change in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\WorldEdit
