worldedit121.exe has stopped working (Newgen/Vanilla WE)

[Wasted_Savior]

When I launch WE or Newgen the editor partially opens and then displays the following error message.

worldedit121.exe has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
[Debug] [Close Program]

After lengthy investigation I opted to delete the world editor registry.

This temporarily solved the problem. I was able to launch again but only once before the error was repeated.

I went through and deleted the registry values for WE one by one to isolate the problem to the registry value:

Computer/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/Blizzard Entertainment/WorldEdit/Windows State Main

I did some further testing with this value deleted and it seems that I only need to delete it when I have maximized the main WE window and exited the program.

I can certainly continue to use WE either deleting the registry value every time or not maximizing the editor but I thought I might ask if anyone had any ideas on why this might be occurring or how I might fix it.

Thanks guys and gals!

Ever since the latest patch I haven't been able to work on anything with the editor, anytime I try to save any map it corrupts & doesn't save properly, I even made a thread about it.

If you cannot reason it, you can at least build yourself a runner that clears the registry entry and then starts the WE.
