OK great thanks, I figured it out. I read the log and it was one of the plugins in the template song which Renoise wasn’t able to load, I removed it from the plugin folder and Renoise loaded up the template song fine.
I guess the question is why that stopped Renoise loading altogether, I’ve had it before where I’ve tried opening old projects where one or more plugins are outdated and couldn’t be loaded but the project would still load, it would just say which plugins weren’t able to be loaded. Also seem to be some other errors in the log, not sure if they’re relevant.
Here’s the log:
