Hi Daniel,

There is something wrong with the commands you told ChimeraX to execute at startup (or their syntax changed since you first specified them). I have fixed the error handling for startup commands so that something more informative comes out of it than what you got here. That will be available in tomorrow's daily build. In the interim, you could look at the startup commands you're using (i.e. check UCSF ChimeraX→Preferences→Startup) and try executing them one by one and see where you get an error.
