Got this fatal error: "A fatal error has occurred. Bitcoin Core can no longer continue to run safely and will soon exit". Anyone else facing this?

Sounds like your wallet.dat file might be messed up. Try replacing it with your backup. If the problem keeps happening, then maybe we should look deeper.

Check your logs too if you can. Look for any issues in the last few lines. If you want, drop them here in [code][/code] tags so we can help you out. Just share the latest bits, you can skip your username and stuff.

Ugh, nothing in my log shows the problem. Makes it a pain to troubleshoot. Just throwing some ideas out: are those wallets you created working normally? Is it just 'test1' crashing or both of them? Maybe try a new wallet and see if it fails too. Or pick a different save directory for your backup.

I figured it out! Your last tip helped. Looked at the log and found some Chinese characters in the path. Turns out Bitcoin Core doesn't handle Chinese characters well. Appreciate the help!
