Crashing Patch: Edit State File

VCV Rack
1

I’ve come across a situation where I’ve spent some hours making a patch. Added host, then Rack crashes not allowing me to remove or edit it.

Is there any way to recover the patch by editing the state file that automatically gets loaded when I restart Rack? It’d be awesome to have detailed info on a crash allowing to remove a crashing module so the patch doesn’t need to be recreated/changed/started over. Since I’m going to have to do that now. :frowning:

Patches are just JSON files, you can remove the crashing module in a text editor.

If you’re not sure how to do that, you can attach your patch or autosave on the forum and we can take a look.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Where would the json file be saved? Oh okay, yes I got it.

Thank you. @Aria_Salvatrice and @jue
