Conversation Corruption Error Breaking Projects After Update to ChatGPT 5 (Mac App)

I have an additional workaround that SOMETIMES works to open a conversation in the app that can’t be open because is not shown because project’s conversations are not loading.

For this I used:

  • Chrome Version 139.0.7258.127 (Official Build) (arm64)
  • ChatGPT MacOs Version 1.2025.218 (1755045646)
  • Running in a Macbook Air 15.6 (24G84) Apple M3
  1. You can go to the web app at chatgpt .com
  2. Load your conversation there and then in the Chrome search/url bar next to your conversation url that should look like this: chatgpt .com /c/689d7a22-0gd4-8323-b6d0-86fb7c521462
  3. There’s going to be a chatgpt icon. I you hover over it it should say: “Open in app”
  4. Click it and it should load your conversation

Note:

I’ve tried multiple things. Closing the MacOS app before, and without doing that. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t but is particularly useful to not have to migrate your project, and since I need to link my app to vs code, this is very useful.
