Unhandled Exception, any insight would be welcome

Post by TheBadDoctor »

I've very recently gotten Distant Worlds with the expansions and geared up for epic fun after playing the tutorials, however when starting a new game, I ran into an issue where the drop down menu for the races caused an "Unhandled Exception" This popup allowed me to quit or continue but I can't look at the individual races in more depth. After lurking around on the support forum I found one instance of the same problem, but all the posted solutions did not work for me. After that I tried running the races from a customization mod and I still ran into the exception. I'm not sure if this helps, but I noticed the only two "theme" options not counting the mod I added were "default" and "classic" and I was wondering if the expansions didn't have their own themes.

Here are the details from the details section of the exception popup, and thanks in advance for any insight on the problem.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
