Lightroom Classic crashing on startup (Mac)

I'm on a Mac with 16 GB storage running Sequoia 15.2 on LrC 14.1.1 from a 1 TB hard drive.

 

Every time I try to open Lightroom Classic, I immediately get the rainbow wheel of death and "Application not responding". The only way I can open my catalog is if I hold Option + Shift, reset preferences, and check the "Test the integrity of this catalog" box.

 

I attached the crash report from Adobe.

 

Things I've tried:

  • Creating a new user profile on my Mac
  • Uninstalling and clean re-install
  • Resetting preferences
  • Disabling GPU

 

Any suggestions appreciated!

Have you attempted using a new catalog?
