Ever since the outage today my HipChat Mac client now crashes upon login

[Nathan Payne]

I'm running HipChat 4.0.10 and every since the outage this afternoon I can no longer log into HipChat—it crashes as soon as I connect (if I delete the keychain, I can get to the login screen, but as soon as I login it crashes again). I've followed all the instructions to delete prefs and reinstall to no avail. The web version works fine, and HipChat 3 works great, but not the newest version.

It looks like something may have become corrupted in your general display preferences that is causing the client to crash when it attempts to display the main chat window. 

@Nathan Payne - You might try completely clearing all the client preferences as described here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/hipchatkb/mac-desktop-app-clearing-preferences-751436224.html

If that doesn't work, you might try clearing your system cookies via Safari: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH21411?locale=en_US (for any .hipchat.com domain)

I did do the preference clearing as indicated in the article—I went ahead and did it again as well as deleting the cookies and the crash is very similar (though you don't see the cookie fault anymore):
