So I was playing on 1.4.2 ever since I reinstalled the game on my computer. I decided to try out the latest release of the game for a bit. I stopped playing and when I came back later to try and play on 1.4.2 I noticed that it simply will not run for me after the logo screen, and not even the latest release works either. I have tried deleting the configuration but that doesn't do anything. This is all the data from the crash report. I'm wondering does this error come from trying to launch different game configurations and patches?
