After updating - Lnd has unexpectedly quit! (SCB file access issue)

[rexmint]

I had downloaded Zap v0.6.2-beta.exe from the website and been using it for months now.

Today I downloaded Zap-win-v0.7.1-beta.exe and updated Zap.

When I load my wallet from my PC it syncs then within 10 seconds usually this error appears;

Lnd has unexpectedly quit!
Error code: 1
Error signal: Unknown
Error message: Unknown

I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling v0.6.2, v0.7.0 and v0.7.1 but now I can't access my wallet that I have on this PC.

I tested to see if I could connect my BTCPayServer I have on a Lunanode server and it connects just fine.

I have 2 channels opened with this wallet that are connected to my node on Lunanode, hoping I can somehow save my coins at the very least.

I have the exact same issue.

Hi, I'm guessing that this is the same issue reported here #3591

Can you try the suggested workaround from there please?

[NotNotGoodCo]

Thankyou, that got it working!

Removing file channel.backup allowed the wallet and lnd to start up correctly.

Issue resolved.

I'm hoping lnd team will cut a new 10.x release that includes this fix soon. If not we'll patch our fork and release an update with the fix.
