Please help me find the problem.

Look in the debug messages for things that say "Can't open" or "missing" or "failed to load" then see if they are there or not and correct them.

As Dennis helpfully quoted, the red text refers to the problem.


file_open('some tag') error 0x00000003 "The system cannot find the path specified"

This means that the tag could not be opened, and is either missing from your tags folder, or is corrupted and can not be opened.

couldn't open refers to which tag(s) that couldn't be opened

failed to load - looking for these errors is particularly helpful in locating where the specified tag is referenced in. For example, from your debug text, it couldn't open the UI tags tied to the solo scenarios, and more specifically, couldn't open "ui\shell\solo_game\pause_game\cmt\custom_options_button". If you were to open that tag, you could find some red text in that tag which shows that the tag does not exist.
