Ah no, never mind then. Thanks so much for trying! I really appreciate it 
Hi jademan,
I hope you still read this thread that I opened last year, as I seem to have the same problem again, only this time i can’t resolve it by deleting the WAL file. I have done so, but when trying to open the Audacity project file, it still doesn’t work. Instead, the error below shows up. Would you kindly be able and willing to give this another look and see if you can be my saviour once again? I would hugely appreciate it.

No tricks this time 
- I’ve had to send this one to the developers. 
The developer has been able to recreate your issue and will keep us posted - later.
The developer replied,
This one is fun.
