Max crashing on startup?

Hello,

Max keeps crashing on startup for me and I'm not sure why. I've tried reinstalling it several times, and don't have a Cycling '74 preferences folder to delete any preferences from. Occasionally it'll open and say it's in the previous version and I can update despite being on the most current version of Max. This started just today, I have a fairly large Max/RNBO patch for a project and I hadn't got a chance to turn off the setting to open the last project on startup. My guess is somehow the patch keeps trying to open up and preventing me from using Max at all, but I'm not 100% sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the crash report I get attached,

Maybe try completely deleting or moving your suspect patch to another disk/storage location, to make sure Max doesn't try to open it at launch.

That solution worked! Moving the project briefly to my trash and then back out fixed it. Thank you.
