Gave the version 229 a try since the files are still available. Profile created successfully and was able to reach the play game screen. Checked files and noticed "CharQDB.xml" was created this time. Exited version 229 and reacquired version 230. Launched 230 and loaded existing profile from version 229. Version 230 was able to reach the play screen.
So the current error resides with version 230 failing to create "CharQDB.xml".
