Hi, my World Editor (current patch, Classic) crashes hard every time i want to load or create a second map.
I have "Create a new map on startup" off, whatever map i make or load loads in fine, even campaign map files. Whatever I try to make or load after crashes the editor
If I turn the switch on, the startup map works fine, same with any map I load from their file directly.
Scan and repair and reinstallation didn't help. 1.29 world editor works, getting rid of the reg key didnt do anything.
It does not matter if the second map has any custom assets, or triggers at all, it can be an empty map, it still crashes.
I think the last thing I did before this was having a campaign file and a campaign map open while I was trying to open a seperate map. That was three days ago.
After looking up previous crash reports nothing I found helped, I'd appreciate if someone could give me an idea.

The problem fixed itself, I'm not sure what happened, but here's what I did:
When blizz added the Legacy version, I already had the 1.29 patch downloaded, so I tried to Locate it through the Bnet launcher
As I did that, the current patch's location was forgotten by the launcher (I assume it was because they are on different drivers), and when I did the Locate Folder on the current version, then started the World Editor, everything worked fine

I assume what occured is that the first crash that occurred set the temporary files folder to the wrong location, so every time a second map was to be loaded, the editor shat itself finding it.
Why the reinstall didnt fix that is beyond me however, so I could be completely wrong
