TOME Crashing

[dreadpatch]

This has been bothering me lately; the game starts up just fine, but whenever I try to start a new game or load an old one, the game just crashes. No error popup, no warning, just a black screen for 3 seconds then I'm back to my desktop. I tried "reinstalling" it (deleting the game folder then unpacking the zip file again), but to no avail. The only time it starts working properly again is when I delete the TOME folder in my user folder, but that not only deletes my save games, but *all* my unlocked birth options.

I found this stderr file in the game folder it self, and here's all it says

PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (Unable to initialize: attempt to call a string value)

Anyone willing to point me in the right direction? I'm stumped. =/

Fixed it! Turns out I just had to copy and paste back my online profile folder.

seems to crop up most frequently when my wifi gets unstable.

Seem to be related to particle emitter for me:
