I hadn't saved a project I had been working through the night to this morning because I knew I could always restore from the saved undo history if it crashed. Well, it did crash and now it won't restore the set from the saved undo history. I am losing my mind. This is beyond extremely important for a label. I can't believe I didn't save a copy while working. Yes, I've learned my lesson for damn sure.
However, I absolutely have to recover this project - I have various iterations of the Undo.cfg file at different points thanks to Time Machine on my Mac, however the set crashes every time it attempts to load. It will only prompt to restore the session from the saved undo history if the UndoMarker.cfg is there along with the Undo.cfg. I have attempted to replace numerous Undo.cfg files in there of different sizes from the various points in the user/library/preferences/ableton/crash/ folder and rename them but no matter what the session crashes on startup.
Please, anyone, I will be forever grateful if you can assist me here. I am in dire circumstance.
Live session crashed & won't open from saved undo history!

bump this! I got the same damn problem, except I'm on XP.

I forgot about this. I actually had to just start over. Probably not the news you wanted to hear VC, but I think that's most likely going to be your best option. Back up the undo.cfg file just in case and perhaps you can restore it with an updated version of Live in the future. Best of luck!
