To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch the aforementioned exe file
2. See error after about 10 seconds.

Expected behavior
Comparator UI showing up.

Screenshots

Log file
I found no log file in the directory the exe file was.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 21H2
• Browser: Chrome 106.0.5249.119
• .exe file name: Spaceships.Comparator.v1.0.0.exe

Additional context
Tried laucnhing the comparator exe with admin rights, same results. Also tried runing comparator while the main app is running vs when it's not.

Same issue here. Running from source code seems to work, though.

Same here. Does it work only with a results file from the completed ux study, perhaps?

A comment: The survey is not very respectful of participants' time. The app is so slow (at least for me) that completing 5(?) more rounds would take me all night. I wait so long after each click that I forget which box I have clicked before or which box I wanted to click next. XD

The bulding script for the comparator app wasn't updated, my fault, sorry! If you've already completed the rest of the user study, please run the comparator app from source until the next release of the executable.

This issue will be fixed with the next release.

As for the time, that's a totally fair statement: we are aware the application can get pretty resource-intensive, so if you're unable to participate because of that, it's understandable! Hopefully the application can be refined and improved so that you can still play around with it in user mode :)

@martinpoliak-goodai please merge commit arayabrain@25d0300 in the repo and build the new Spaceships Comparator app, thank you!

@Zemogiter @hobob0t @rootli thank you for reporting this issue, it's now fixed (as mentioned above, you can still run from the source code with no issues, or wait for the new release of the app).

[rootli]

Thanks! My main feedback would be, it's already doing a great job creating shapes that inspire me to turn a generic hull into a purpose-bound ship! I'd be interested in settings for more/less symmetry, min/max length, atmo/ion toggle.

I tried to run the compare scripts from the CLI under Win10 and have nothing but errors. I'll leave the browser open until the EXE gets updated. I'll keep an eye on it.

@Zemogiter @hobob0t @rootli @Pontiac76 I added the new comparator executable release, available at https://github.com/GoodAI/space-engineers-ai-spaceship-generator/releases/tag/v.1.0.1

Thank you for your patience, this will allow you to complete the user study now 😃
