i have the exact same problem.

hope they fix it fast!

Yeah, same error for me . . . . Haven't got time to chase bugs at present so rolling back to R162 for now . . . .

Thanks for reporting this and saving me the time and effort to reproduce the issue. I'm having the same issue myself.

Same error on my end as well. I was about to post a report, but seems you saved me some time indeed. Thanks a bunch Joannesalfa!

I have the same problem (I'm pretty sure it's the same at least). Here are the error messages I'm receiving, hopefully they can shed some more light on this bug.

Ah, thought I was going insane. Thanks for filing this bug report.

A hotfix would be greatly appreciated for this

same errors as — on start up

I have the same bug, only on layouts where family variables are used.

yeah same error for me, thanks for reporting.

I didn't know why this happened (only in 164).

same here...

I also have the same problem, but it is pretty easy to fix. Create an invisible instance and then in the event system only destroy the instances that are visible, that should solve any problems!

+1

Condition checking family instance variable when no objects of family are present in layout invokes a crash.

Condition checking instance variable when no [non-family] objects are present in layout does not invoke a crash.

i have this error and now im stuck im waiting for a fix

Same!
