Restarting a devprev client today triggered an update. After the update, Foldit displays the error message shown below.

To avoid reinstalling, a copied versions.json from a working Foldit. This gets past the corrupted database issue. To avoid repeating the problem, either skip the update, or edit options.txt to switch "devprev" to "main" before restarting.

In log.txt, there's a little more detail:

standalone.application.verify_util: {0} file: 'alignment/BLOSUM62' '8a453c755490e68a71be132741c00c88' != '2d84d18b63e63295f32873a50bea1c26'
game.application.GameApplication: {0} [ ERROR ] Error during initialization:
Your database appears to be corrupted.
Please try reinstalling the application.
