A critical error loading Sia has occured: Siad unexpectedly exited
-
Could Dev or someone that figured out a solution please respond? At this point, I can't open siaui unless I delete the whole situation folder and resync every time.

Ok I've found my own solution in Windows 10 after trying a combination of things.
This is what I did:
- Go to cmd and run as administrator
- Cd into your Sia-UI-v1.2.2-win32-x64\resources\app\Sia directory
- Type siad.exe and hit enter
- After all 6/6 are loaded, you can open the Sia-UI.
It works for me, I hope this solution will help others that have similar issues

@droghio I just opened Sia.UI from the main program folder on my desktop. I'm not super technical but was able to follow xancel's instructions through cmd.

unable to load the legacy storage manager persist: open C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Sia-UI\sia\host\storagemanager\storagemanager.json: The system cannot find the file specified.I've tried deleting and reinstalling the wallet but I got exactly the same message. Looking in the above path, the mentioned file isn't there. Does anyone know what it is supposed to be? Can I simply create a new file and name it accordingly or does it provide instruction rather than simply being a storage space?

I'm having the same problem. Got it to sync to 98% then this happened....twice!!
@xancel It looks like what you did should work for me too, I'm just not understanding how to do that in cd. Could you give a little more detail? Would be much appreciated. Thx

ok... Ive managed to open in cmd this:
Sia-UI-v1.3.0-win32-x64\resources\app\Sia
But there is no siad.exe file. There is a siac.exe file but then I get this message:
Could not get current consensus state: no response from daemon
There is however a siad.exe.fig but I don't think that will be any use.

Thanks @xancel I believe this will work for me too.
If you're still having problems running siad.exe via cmd:
- Open cmd as admin (click Start and type cmd, right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator)
- Type cd C:\path.to.siaUI.folder and then press enter
Example: If you have your SiaUI folder in the root of C you would use this cmd: cd C:\Sia-UI-v1.3.1-win32-x64\resources\app\Sia - Now just type siad.exe and hit enter, you will see output similar to my screenshot below
Note: My SiaUI folder is on my desktop. Here is a sceenshot (I blacked out my Windows user name)
