[BUG/CRASH] Minidump on launch related to enabled mods

from Sins Forums

As the title says, I see a black screen and a cursor upon launching.  If I alt-tab I'm told a minidump has been generated and the program closes.  Having a mod enabled seems to be the problem.  What's more troublesome is that then launching Entrenchment and disabling the mod and hitting the apply changes button causes a minidump as well.  Didn't try editing the EnabledMods file as I had easy access to archived copies of Sins and Entrenchment, so I just reinstalled.

Diplomacy launches fine now.  This could still be a hassle for folks though that don't come to the solution as quickly.

Here's the Diplomacy minidump from having the enabled mod:

And this is the Entrenchment minidump that occurs every time you try to disable an active mod:

Now to go try out the expansion hopefully.

I'm seeing the same symptoms, but I've not ever used mods.  I'm going to try to remove and cleanly install to see if that changes anything.  I sent my minidump to [email protected].  I'll post anything I find.

 

*Update*  I removed and freshly installed by clicking on Diplomacy and letting it tell me to install Entrenchment and base SINS.  Once everything downloaded and installed it works like a charm.  :)

Yeah, we're seeing some weird things with installs, and we'll get to the bottom of it as soon as possible. Until then all I can do is ask for your patience when our little beta makes you reinstall stuff.

Patience?  I think not!  *writes angry letter*  ;P
