As of two days ago I had  no issues creating a new project via start.atmel.com. Yesterday everything stopped. I can create a project, and "Save Configuration" which is saved to local PC hard drive. When I then "Load Project From File" and choose the previously save file I get an error message (Capture.png). Same occurs when Atmel Start is invoked from within Studio 7. This morning there is new fun. Now Atmel start simply reports an error window with a generic useless message (Capture1.png).

I would love to include log files but for the life of me I can't find any.

Seems you're not the only one:

(see Tip #1 in my signature for how to get the image visible in the post)

Top Tips:

  1. How to properly post source code - see: https://www.avrfreaks.net/comment... - also how to properly include images/pictures
  2. "Garbage" characters on a serial terminal are (almost?) invariably due to wrong baud rate - see: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/serial-communication
  3. Wrong baud rate is usually due to not running at the speed you thought; check by blinking a LED to see if you get the speed you expected
  4. Difference between a crystal, and a crystal oscillator: https://www.avrfreaks.net/comment...

Same problems here.

 

Atmel Start have been updated in version apparently the 13th and it's now very unstable.

Really no quality.

Try checking the source files on your hard drive. Saving a project incorrectly may corrupt some files and cause the project to stop opening. I had a similar problem, but my hard drive had many bad sectors that corrupted all the data it contained. I tried to repair the corrupted files manually, but it only worsened. After some time and several unsuccessful attempts to do something, I decided to seek help from HDD RECOVERY specialists. They successfully restored all the damaged files in less than an hour. If I had asked for help right away, I would have saved a lot of my time.
