Good News: just discovered that this older Updater given to me on Feb 6, 2022 still works perfectly for any language selected https://discord.com/channels/463237927984693259/769635442969542676/939858275367780422

Bad news Only the latest release in Github is crashing in windows for all languages, but custom local installs works with the app.

Other differences I noticed: working version has 2.16 English as first language. broken latest version is fetching github list that is not ordered

Are they both fetching from Gitub differently -perhaps handling is possible problem? how did Feb 6 version I got get list since it is definitely in a different order.

tested older linked version at least 10 times now, no crashes at all on any language I select. something changed from that one to new one.

Separately, MarkBigTex tried 2 versions on a MAC today and is getting only white blank screen.

Interesting Updater results now (reason I thought that the new updater magically fixed is that is working for some languages) This is testing only on latest Github version, please forgive the spelling, I can't do the accents.

I had to stop testing more languages because now the Dropdown now won't show anything from Github around [5:55 PM] PST time California. All I get is Custom in gray color, no dropdown list at all when I click on word custom.
Tried again a few minutes later and now dropdown list is mysteriously back. .... something weird happening, Github list disappeared not accesible from Updater, and now it's back. don't know what caused suddenly not being able to click on Custom word to get dropdown list.

I did not test all languages, but that is a good start list of what worked and what crashed in 1.0.0 version that is on Github now.

To compare, I tested a bunch of languages in older version i received on Feb. 6 and they all work no crash or issue. I did not test every language, but that was enough for me to believe the older version is working well. confirmed good tests:
english, europe multi, chinese + japanese, bulgarian/russian/serbian/ukranian multi, belarus, czech , german, french, spanish
