Xcode 4.4.1 keep crashing on Storyboard

Question

I can't open my main Storyboard file with Xcode. I updated to 4.4.1 without success. I tried to restore a previous version of my storyboard, but it doesn't open it. It crashes every time.

If I create a new storyboard file it opens it, but I don't want to start from scratch.

Here's a crash log:

Answer 1

Very difficult to tell, but looking at your stack (lines 4-10) there is a problem with an image. I would go into your application and make sure it is loading the image correctly. If you are still having the problem, try removing images from the view that is causing the problem until you can figure out exactly which one is causing the exception.
