Live Start is broken after updating to version 25.7.80 - any help?

Hey guys. After updating to the newest version on an M1 Mac, I created a new save that had live start enabled, and for whatever reason, not only does the game launch a lot quicker than it used to (potentially missing files???), but when it enters into the game, an error message appears, saying that Live Start has failed. I've tried reinstalling the game, deleting Live Start files, and nothing has worked. Any ideas?

It's likely some sort of network issue downloading the live start files. Please make sure you are connected to the internet, that you do not have an anti-virus program blocking the game from downloading the information. It's also possible that a path is somehow invalid. In the settings menu off the entry screen, in the troubleshooting tab, there's a button to open the folder containing live start data. If you click to open that, please make sure that goes to a correct path, and that you have write permissions on the folder there.
