Corrupt File crashes Max on Launch

Hi,

This patch crashes max when I try to launch it. I would love any help or insight, because I don't want to rewrite the whole thing... :(

If any knows how to interpret the text code of the patch that would help (it still opens as text).

Thanks!

Went looking through the code myself...!

deleted the only subpatch and the patch opened up again (with stray patch cables).

I guess I'll try to salvage it and export some images as a backup...

did you try the disable loadbang/loadmess? you hold option-shift (or some combination I never remember :) when you open the patch. often one of these is the culprit, as a patch shouldn't actually do anything until there's an event (interaction, loadbang, etc).

If it does open, hunt down some loadbangs and see if there's a stack overflow happening somewhere. Apart from that, I'm not sure where a crash would come from, though probably there are ways...
