GAMS Studio freezes on startup and may crash. What can I do?

There is probably a stale .lock file in the settings folder. Delete it manually and try to launch Studio again.
You can find the Studio settings in the following locations:

  • Windows: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\GAMS\
  • MacOS & Linux: $HOME/.config/GAMS/

Sometimes this occurs on systems with multiple graphics cards. Try to run GAMS Studio with a specific graphics card to solve the issue.
