Visual Studio Code extension keeps crashing since update to 1.0.18

Edit by @Patrick-Erichsen

Temporary solution is what @ivanhercaz has recommended:

Removing .continue (really renaming it to not lose it), starting VSCode with Continue 1.0.18 and once it starts without issues, copying my previous configuration file, make it work.

Before submitting your bug report

• I believe this is a bug. I'll try to join the Continue Discord for questions
• I'm not able to find an open issue that reports the same bug
• I've seen the troubleshooting guide on the Continue Docs

Description

Since upgrading the Continue Visual Studio Code extension to version 1.0.18, the vscode extension host keeps crashing. Disabling the Continue extension stops the extension host from crashing, but also disables Continue for me.

Note that I checked main, exthost and exthost-worker logs and can't see any root reason. All I know is that disabling Continue stops the crashing. I couldn't find any continue extension logs.

To reproduce

1. Have Linux
2. Install VScode
3. Install Continue extension v1.0.18
4. observe extension host crashing

Log output

2025-07-14 11:10:37.231 [info] Extension host with pid 205685 exited with code: 133, signal: unknown.
2025-07-14 11:10:37.232 [error] [UtilityProcess id: 10, type: extensionHost, pid: 205685]: crashed with code 133 and reason 'crashed'

I have been same ploblem on Windows 11.
In my case, there is no explicit crash in the output, just "Extension host exited unexpectedly" in the output.

I'm not sure about anything, but anyone tried to remove their .continue folder and reconfigure?... I had a problem with embeddings (loading very slowly) with an old Continue version and "restart" the folder fix the issue.

@rubin55 you should remove your API Keys ;-)

@04cfb1ed I just uninstalled continue extension, removed .continue folder and install 1.0.18 and it now works...

@04cfb1ed works! Thanks!!
