Crash on startup

The app crashes with the following log:

Same.

Hi, can you still reproduce this error? If yes, please execute the following version and cause this error to appear. SteamShutdown.zip

This will create a file called debugging.txt on your desktop. Please share this file with me. Also, if the last line of this text file says something like: <date> <time> FileToAppInfo: <path to an acf file> please attach this acf file as well.

Yeah it was reproducible. Thanks to a debugging.txt I have found multiple corrupted acf files (some of them were binary, others had text content they shouldn't have had), deleted them and the app is now working just fine.

Seems like better handling of such files would be nice

[akorb]

Do you have a copy of these corrupted files? Would be helpful to pinpoint what went wrong and making the code more robust. Otherwise I can only guess what went wrong
