Unable to open due to 'buffering samples' lost weeks of work

Almost in tears over this.

I've got an ableton project with a few drum tracks loaded and 3 audio inputs, it's for a live performance.

I've got maybe 40 samples, maybe even less, longest sample is 1 minute long.

I now can not open the project, I've tried opening it as it was saved on two external different hard drive, and also the computer hard drive.

I have 200gb of space free on computer. Activity monitor, nothing is going on, memory pressure is in the green. Decoding cache in ableton I've increased to 12gb.

I just upgraded to the latest ableton.

Im on a macbook pro M1 2021, Monteray 12.7.6

So much hard work lost, just can't open the ableton projects. I've gone ot backups as well and they aren't loaded. Also restarted computer.

I’m happy to test on my computer if you’d consider sending the project but you probably have 1000 reasons not to do so.
