Steam version crashes upon launch (Windows)

Help
1

Hello, Im on a Windows 10 PC and I’m trying to launch the 1.3.14 version of aseprite( latest one) on Steam.
The problem began when I was using the TEXT feature and changed the text size to 100, the program instantly crashed with a pop up error window. I tried opening it again and since then it crashes instantly, everytime I try it flashes the aseprite windows for half a second and it closes. (with no error window popping up this time).
I’ve been reading other posts with similar problems and I already tried:

  • opening the program from a .aseprite file
  • opening the program from the .exe file
  • opening the program as an administrator
  • turning on -debug and -disable-wintab
  • uninstalling the program
  • deleting the .exe and having steam reinstall it
  • restarting my computer
    None of these have worked so far, please help! :anxious_face_with_sweat:

Did you try deleting the aseprite.ini file? For me, the ini file was located in C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Aseprite.

If you feel certain that the text size was the source of the problem and would rather change the ini file than delete it, open the ini file in a text editor and search for [text_tool]. In my ini file, the info beneath that header says font_info = system=Cascadia Mono,size=36,antialias,ligatures.

Yes! That was it!
Instead of deleting the aseprite.ini file I opened it and changed the font_info = Aseprite,size=1000 to font_info = Aseprite,size=10and it launched!
Thank you so much! I never would have tought how to solve it myself!
