Error Message

Since updating to to 2.0.27, I keep getting the following message during start-up.
...
Error Loading Character

An error occured loading the character.
Data loss may occur if you save.

Please shut down Hero Designer and restart.

Error Message: Null

Post your trace.log file....otherwise, I don't have much to go on.

Chances are, that error has already been fixed (there was a problem with Prefabs containing Compound Powers -- they'd throw an error during startup if there were no active characters).
