Hey guys, I'm having a problem with Sapien, and I've never seen it before. Does anyone know what this means?

That's the error I'm getting. If it helps, I actually shut down my computer while Sapien was running, I hope I didn't mess it up. Thanks for reading.

try deleting the sapien.config then run it again.
if it closes after you run it, set it run on 1 core

you will find that sapien.config in the hce folder.

Neither of those worked.. thanks though.

Since I see that you are running a hobo instead of the default Sapien, try using Sapien for now and see if the same error pops up.
If no problems pop up, delete your current a hobo .exe and download a new one from Halomaps.

If this doesn't work though, you've got some troubleshooting to do. Do the following, and see which step works for you:
1. Run a hobo/Sapien as admin.
2. Set the compatibility options for Sapien/a hobo to all your possible combinations.
3. Do a clean reinstall of the HEK (that is, after uninstalling the HEK, you delete all the files Windows places in your Halo Custom Edition's "Compatibility files" folder (leave your tags and data folder alone though), then download a fresh copy of the HEK from Halomaps and install the HEK from there).

Hope this helps.

Hey thanks for the help guys. Ally's solution actually worked, except there was some confusion. I should have stated that I was using a hobo, all I did was delete the "a hobo.config" instead of the "sapien.config". Thanks to both of you for your help.
