It would be though. I'll try re-downloading, thanks. Do you know any way I could export the sprites or anything without being able to open it? Because that's the only problem I have with restarting, I don't have my sprites saved anywhere else. No need to tell me how stupid it is not to backup any of my game, I already know.

Not really. There are ways to extract data from projects and convert it to XML, as pioneered by some of the Scratchers in Advanced Topics, but there's no way to put them back as a whole without re-writing them.

But I could extract the art?

I have been working on a project for about a week, and it was going to be a very major project; one of my best. I got this error too. I'll try re-downloading Scratch...

Re: Could not read project; file may be damaged: (key not found)

I started on a science project a few weeks ago. I forgot to save today then my computer crashed. Now my parents think I didn't do anything all day. Then I tried to restart my work on the previous version but now it has this problem. Can't wait till my parents find out. -_-

The post is still relevant, since the issue has not been fixed.

Please could you upload the damaged file to somewhere like dropbox. This will allow us to try and inspect the file and (hopefully) fix it.
