After Effects crashing due to corrupted comp (suspecting number counter expression)

Question

Hey everyone,I've been searching for my problem online for over an hour and couldn't find any solutions. Everytime I try to click the comp (not a double click) AE crashes. First it crashed when I simply opened the project, but then I try holding down shift and that way the project opened, so I knew it was the comp.I have several project files that act the same way, and I noticed they all have the number counter expression used in them. I tried importing it into a new project, deleting cache, updating the software, and all the other classic suggestions. Nothing worked. Any ideas?Thank you!

I figured it out! &#128578;The problem was the Slider. Apparently linking the Source Text to Slider (for number counter) crashes AE now.I revert back to an older version of AE (17.1 to be exact) and the comp opened with no problem.I removed Slider and saved it. Then I re-installed the latest version (17.5) and voila! I could open the comp. I tried linking Source Text to Slider again, works great. I save it, close AE, try to reopen. Crashes, same error.So this looks like a massive bug to me!Hope they figure this out asap, and in the mean time I hope I figure out how to make number counter another way. Hope this helps someone!Cheers
