Description

Unable to load in old sessions. Has been a persistent issue since v1.0.2 for me.

Also experiencing the issue in my Docker container.

Those having issues might try disabling auto-update, then rolling back to v0.15.23.

OpenCode version

1.0.2 -> 1.0.23

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Opencode
  2. Use /session command
  3. Select Session
  4. Wait to Load
  5. Conversation history flashes and disappears

Operating System

Terminal

VS Code + Ghostty

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #3026: Same issue with sessions showing empty despite existing in storage after version upgrades (specifically affects v0.14.4+ with sessions from v0.13.x)
  • #2987: Sessions disappearing/being lost entirely after using /compact command
  • #2046: General "Failed to Open Session" error affecting session loading

The symptoms described (conversation history flashing and disappearing when loading old sessions) closely match the session loading issues reported in these other tickets. #3026 is particularly relevant as it identifies the specific version compatibility issue with session loading after API changes.

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

No, but I can continue the chat and the context appears to still be there. Seems like a rendering issue.

I rolled back to v0.15.23 (latest available on brew) and things are working fine again.

@reowens make sure you're on the latest version and perhaps try cleaning storage for opencode as well.
