Post by Aurelian »

Try the following:

-right click on the game in your steam library, select properties
-go to local files tab
-click browse local files
-delete all files inside the mods/ directory

Thanks Vic

Unfortunately, the mod directory is empty. Drat.

Well, that was a big fail..... Just don't see how it can have a mod file error with no mod file....

Quick question.

Did you upgrade with one of the beta patches available on the forum?

They are not compatible with steam versions of the game, if you are running a steam version.

Nope. Just Steam updates.

Fixed it. Took a fresh install of Windows 10. But it worked.
