Just to clarify, did you have a working version of CAVE installed before the 
most recent
issues started to happen?

Clearing caveData is usually one of the first steps we recommend when 
encountering issues in CAVE.
I'm a bit surprised that seems to have fixed your issue, but good to know!

Yes, clearing the cache (caveData) should be done when updating from an 
existing version
of CAVE to a newer one.  Our documentation will be modified soon to reflect 
this information.
