Retro Achievements website down, causing Launchbox to crash when loading achievement data

I do not know if this as designed or a bug, but I am unable to enter my retro achievements username  in the options menu without clicking "Click here to register an account." The field just shows a blinking cursor. I am using beta 5.  was able to login successfully. Thanks.

Hey,

I started getting an "Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path '', line 0, position 0." error when launching LaunchBox. I tried restoring an old data backup (from BackUps folder) to be sure it doesn't depend on any new games I added but it still crashes.

Since I can't disable retroachievements because the app crashes as soon as it starts, @Jason Carr is there a way to disable it via some config files (should the errors depend on retroach...)? In order to make changes I didn't have to close the crash error window because doing so THAT would close LaunchBox too.

BTW I'm on the latest 13.11 version (which I also tried reinstalling over the previous one with no success) and BigBox works just fine.

 

EDIT: taking a better look at the crash message it seems to be related to the GOG account:

EDIT2: I logged-out from GOG and it doesn't crash anymore, so maybe there's an error that has to be handled in the GOG related code
