something new what you can try
regarding the Hydrastorm Viewer crashing after installing the new FS ver on the same machine, I ran into the same problem. After some investigation, I found the issue.
The file <systemHD>:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Firestorm_x64\user_settings\key_bindings.xml gets changed with the new Firestorm version, older ones can't process it. Hydra and FS place their settings files into the same folder by default, the path mentioned above is the one on Win10. So if you install the new Firestorm, it overwrites the previous key_bindings.xml file and the next time you try to run Hydra, it crashes on startup.
Workaround: delete the key_bindings.xml file before you run Hydra, or rename it to maybe key_bindings.old
Both, Firestorm and Hydrastorm, will just create a new xml file if it is missing.
Hope this helps.
