Fails at first token

Error @ 'applicationCollection

    applicationCollection' (L0) WAR99F361C9: Invalid token.

I get this error in the last 4 versions trying any sample. Haven't found a version that works yet

What are your console parameters? Was the gamepad.wara file modified or transformed with a different encoding?

My output with latest binaries

It was not modified, but it must be a different encoding, because when I download gamepad.wara it works. It also works copied from github copy button into notepad and saved. It fails when saved from vim with git bash tested on Windows 11. If I don't create the file with vim in git bash, but go in the existing one and save, it also works. What steps can I take to get more information for you to figure out what's going on?

Sounds like doing a binary diff of the two files (working, non-working) would reveal the encoding differences. I don't have a better suggestion for you :(
