Build for 8/16/23 is instantly crashing on project open

[Kes Akalaonu]

I'm not sure why this is happening but I've had 5 crashes on today's build (8/16/23) in the last hour upon opening a project that is created for Premiere 24. I'll run through the troubleshooting steps and all but I just wanted to get this out there in case others were experiencing the same thing.

What are you doing in PPro, when the crashes occur?

Same here, just try to create a new project of a different folder than the default will instantly crash PP, I cannot revert to the previous 24 version, only 23.6 which does not open the new project files, solution ASAP please? are these uploads tested at all before uploading?

Please refer to this video @Bruce Bullis

Thanks; looks like 

1. Launch PPro
2. New Project
3. Browse for Project location
4. Select a OneDrive sync directory...

I can't tell what happens next; from the video, it appears that you dismissed the "browse for project location" dialog without accepting the result (the Project location remains "C:\matt\..."), then the crash occurs. 

Does that match your experience?

i did not dismiss it, it just crashes, I can upload a new video if you want, it just bluntly crashes and the app drops, I client on browse project location (work drive) and it crashes, will upload a new video for you

Bruce, new video uploaded, I created a New work folder, to show you, but any other folder , other than the user name folder (Which I never use) crashes

I downloaded the 8/17 build and the problem still persists. I tried creating a new project and it crashed after I said ok. I'm gonna try to trash preferences and see if that the problem still persists

Update: trashing preferences allowed me to create a new project and open it. Premiere seems to crash the minute I use either a custom or shipped workspace (Text Based Editing, Essentials etc.)
