Here's a possible workaround:
1) launch Resolve without opening a project (that is, just look at the Project Manager window)
2) select but do not open the project with the problem
3) right-click the bad project and Export a copy to another drive
4) now, right-click in the gray area of the Project Manager and Import that project back into Resolve (with a name like "Copy of Bad Project").
5) Try opening the copy and see if the problem persists.
6) if you have a copy of the project from the day before (and we always suggest you make daily backups), see if the previous day's version is OK.
If you've set Resolve to automatically open the last project, I can't help you -- I don't know a way to turn that on if it's crashing at start-up.
