(Solved for now) crash when trying to select specific characters

[FishyBiscuits]

Idk if this has ever come up before, but whenever I'm flipping thru my characters and when I come upon the one character that I have a preset on, the game crashes. I can play freely with all my characters but the specific one I want to play as, which is the one that crashes the game.

I tried creating a new character and putting the same preset on it, but whenever I try to EDIT any one of my existing characters, or creating a completely new one, the game crashes all the same.

I thought that maybe its my preset that got corrupted somehow, so I tried exporting the preset again. I exited back to the main menu, clicked creative den, and clicked preset creator, but the game experienced yet another crash.

I also tried resetting the home on the glitching character, and pressing Go Home on all of my characters thru the user panel, but that didn't fix the problem at all.

I also tried switching the rendering system on the game, but that didn't work either.

I'm really frustrated because I've tried fixing the problem myself with any and all the knowledge I have of how the game works, but It seems I don't know enough and I have no idea what to do to fix it.

Please help ;-;

Hello there, Fishy. It sounds like there might be a typo or error within the preset_#.material file. Would you post the code here with [code]stuff[/code] or PM it to me so I can look at it and try to find the problem?

Hello, FishiBiscuits! Have you recently installed content such as mods, markings, items and/or textures?
Also, keep in mind that flipping through tabs can sometimes cause the game to randomly crash or when you have too many programs open at the same time while running FeralHeart.

I haven't downloaded any mods or Maps or anything recently, but I have an equip pack installed. However, the packed played well nicely and hasn't caused any errors for the past maybe 5 months that Ive had it

And I always make sure to close all programs and extra tabs before playing, so it couldnt have been the tabs

Open that file with notepad, it should have a message in it telling you if there is a bad file (A file with an error in it.) in your installation, usually related to preset issues.

Its Indicating that the Preset file has something wrong with it, but I cant see what it is ;-;

Seems that you were missing a bracket there ( at least so far to my knowledge ( it's in red ))
see if that does anything o:

[FishyBiscuits]

Here's the code within:

Nope, all brackets are there (If you look on the message I sent the code in, I put another message in there where I accidentally parted the last bracket from the rest of the code oops)

Do all of your images for your preset only have 1 layer?
