How to reproduce the issue
Launch App
Had error previously, but didnt bother to record it (assume it was the same one, but cant be certain), since Id seen another person reporting that their issue had been fixed with a reinstall, so this was on a fresh reinstall. Worked fine until I attempted to launch the app a second time.
PoB for PoE1 build code
