Game Stopped Working - *UPDATED && FIXED*

My submission to the Pirate Software Game Jam stopped working. I just get an pop up saying "An error occurred before the game window could be initialized. Please check the console!"  I checked the console but nothing stands out.  I even reverted back to a previously working version and it still is showing the same error.  The game works fine when I run it in on a local server.  I'm freaking out.  Please help.

**UPDATE**

I tried another PC and the game is running okay on there.  Something is still up on my main PC though.  But at least I can stop freaking out so much thinking no one can play my game.  

**FIX**

I restarted my PC and cleared all browsing data twice before it started working on my main PC...    

This was a wild ride of me reverting git commits, digging in my recycle bin, and re-uploading old versions of my game when it was most likely just a problem in my browser.  I probably spent the last 2 hours losing my sh** over this so the moral of the story is to start with the simpler fixes and always try a different browser/machine.  I could have saved myself quite a bit of a headache.  Hopefully this post will help some other people retain their sanity too.  ♥
