soulseek-client.dat file corrupt

[Don Sticksel]

I've been having trouble opening soulseek on my Macbook Air. (M1, 2020, running Sonoma 14.1). It would just hang and I'd have to force quit. Updating/downgrading to different versions had no effect. After poking around here, I found all the files so I could delete and do a clean install, (keeping my soulseek-client.dat files in a seperate folder). This worked, but all my download info and saved users were gone. When I moved the soulseek-client.dat files back, it stopped working again. I tried using each of the 3 backups, but each one stalled the launch. 

I have Soulseek on my Mac Mini, but obvs the client data is different. I mean, it's fine if that's what I have to use as it has some of the same user info saved, but is there anyway to get the info back for my Air?
