@joncrigan69 Would you mind sharing the error report generated? Please paste it in the logs section, without it devolepers won't be able to help you as much.

@NTsch that's a known issue, please don't post crashlogs here that belong to another issue.

Let OP post the logs, matter would be much clearer then.
