I love this app so much but the 2.1 release won't work offline. I can only open it when I'm on a wifi connection. It crashed on me today when I tried to work offline. Is there anyway I can download the old Stimuwrite 2 version so I can get to work again? It's been so helpful to me.

Oh no! That's so weird, sorry about that. Here's a link to download the old versions of 2 until I can figure out this bug - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/xjkk6u7h1j1zxfnyo8y8c/h?rlkey=q0d7aec5g94n4x81w9et6lk6q&dl=0

Do you mind letting me know what OS you are using? And if possible could you send me any files in the "log" folder in this location in your file system to help me debug this? I can't replicate it on my end for some reason.

Windows %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\StimuWrite\

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/StimuWrite/

Linux:  ~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/StimuWrite/

Thank you thank you thank you! I'm using Windows 11 on my Surface Go 2. Where should I send the files?

I ended up finding the bug, so I don't think I need them anymore. I'll get a new version up very soon. Thank you so much for letting me know about this issue!

You're welcome!

An update has been released to fix this bug, please let me know if the latest (2.1.1) version is working for you. Thank again for your help!
