Could not open optional file in the terminal

  • I'm attempting to run MA3 v1.7.2.2 on a freshly built Windows 11 Pro machine, and I keep getting this in the terminal that refuses to boot up on MA3. I uninstalled and reinstalled the software only to see error pop-ups throughout the installation, and I already did a system refresh of the Windows, but it still brings this up. Any ideas on what might be going on?

  • "Could not open optional file in the terminal"

    this is normal and expected on a new installation that haven't successfully been opened and then successfully been closed, and has no relation to your issue.
