1.7.3.0 build crashing after 4-5 seconds of loading up.

On the newest (at the time of this post) 1.7.3.0 stable build, I seem to get this error on whatever route/train combination I use roughly 5 seconds after loading in:

Unhandled exception:

Cannot load Counter Name data because an invalid index " was read from the registry 

Here is the crash log for one of the runs I was on:

Sorry if this bug has been reported before, It just seems like the first case on the newest build 

Cannot load Counter Name data because an invalid index " was read from the registry

This tells me you've got some Windows registry corruption issues.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/windows-server/performance/rebuild-performance-counter-library-values

Follow these steps as a starting point to rebuild the performance counters:

1. Go to Start, type cmd
   
2. Right-click on cmd.exe and choose ‘Run as administrator’.
   
3. Type lodctr /r and press enter.
   

I'm not certain whether it's the direct cause of your troubles or symptomatic of something else.
Your routefile from the crash log is fine here though.

I think I've found it now....
(Had loading sway turned off, crashed with it on)

1.7.3.1 should be live any time now.
This should also add handling for cases which have the error above, although it's genuine.

I managed to successfully do the above, however rather than showing the error it now closes the window without any error prompt. Here was the crash log from the latest run with the symptoms:

Update: I managed to fix the error by turning off loading sway.

Yes, that figures.

1.7.3.1 fixes the issue & was pushed yesterday
