Hi everyone,

I’m using Rhino 8 right now and grasshopper keeps crashing upon opening a file I have. It was working previously and suddenly crashed. I’ve tried multiple times to re open the file after and every time I select the file it just crashes again. I’ve also tried looking for previous autosave files but the autosave file from grasshopper folder was empty…  
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you

Try to open the file with the solver disabled. To do that, open Grasshopper, deactivate the solver and then open the file.
