Won't open with Elite 2.3 update

[Ch4rli3G0rd0n]

i can't manage to open Picard after yesterday's Elite 2.3 update. In my understanding, this program only reads the logs and doesn't communicate with the API, but i have the same issue with EDDI (unrelated project) since yesterday, so maybe something changed in Frontier's API or similar and this program is also affected in some way? Or maybe they changed the log files? I hope the issue can be sorted soon, and thanks to the dev for his precious work!

Same issue here. Windows 10 and Elite Dangerous 2.3.

Odd, mine's working just fine.

Same issue. I did update to the latest Windows 10 version (Creators update, build 1703) within the last few days also.

Anyone else still having issues with this?

[davidgilson]

Yes!

[cgoodric]

Yes.

This is also not working for me. Application fails on launch. Get .NET Runtime error.

Event ID: 1026
Application: Picard.exe

Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

This error is then followed by an application error event ID 1000:

Faulting application name: Picard.exe, version: 1.0.2.0, time stamp: 0x58ab944d

This is reproducible every time. I have not been able to launch Picard successfully since 2.3

I had a little debug and found, that app crashes for me on next log item
{ "timestamp":"2017-07-10T12:36:06Z", "event":"EngineerCraft", "Engineer":"Felicity Farseer", "Blueprint":"FSD_LongRange", "Level":1, "Ingredients":[ { "Name":"disruptedwakeechoes", "Count":1 } ] }
with follownig json deserializer error

{"Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary`2[System.String,System.Int32]' because the type requires a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly.\r\nTo fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) or change the deserialized type to an array or a type that implements a collection interface (e.g. ICollection, IList) like List that can be deserialized from a JSON array. JsonArrayAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON array.\r\nPath 'Ingredients', line 1, position 149."}

But external online json validators say that this json is ok, i hope this helps.

UPD
It seems, that format of EngenerCraft was changed (I think in 2.3 update), and now ingridient can be a string, not only the number
