Continuous Errors w/mods

from Sins Forums

I'm having issues with continuous errors popping up when I try to play with mods enabled (STA3, SW Interregnum, and SW Ascendancy).  Chance of a minidump is probably between 25-50%, depending on the mod.  No errors when I play the base game (w/all DLC).  Reading through various forums I know there are some issues with the mods and the 1.86 update (although the devs said they tested with no major issues), but very few people, if any, seem to be having the same issues with unplayability.  

I've tried reinstalling Rebellion and each of the mods...that didn't seem to make a difference.  Any other ideas?

Opt into 1.87. It's possible your hitting the 2GB wall. Also, this patch adds better mod support.

If your using the Developer exe you'll need to edit your settings file to turn off showing errors. At this point all of the bigger mods are using features not planned for by the original developers that result in ASSERT failures that don't impact the game stability overall.

Yeah, not sure how many mods you can play without errors popping up in Dev, SOA2 might even be the only one.  It doesn't even have to be a buggy mod to be toast. :( Anyone using fifth slot passives on capital ships for instance, you get exceptioned to death even though it works just fine.

Thanks for the info.  I forgot to mention that I had the LAA installed, so I shoudn't be hitting any memory walls that aren't affecting others, as well. However, I'll give the new patch a try.    

Is it normal to receive error messages in the regular game exe?  I've getting the same ones in both the normal and developer exe versions.  Most seem related to UI files in the Window folder and string files, but an occasional weapon meshpoint issue pops up as well.  

I'll definitely be changing the settings in the Dev file to avoid the constant popups, but I just don't see how these mods could be rated so highly and enjoyed by so many people if they're having the same issues I am.  Not that I'm saying they don't deserve it...on the contrary.  My point is that I'm experiencing something others must not be, making me wonder if something like the downloads corrupting on my end or something else more difficult to track down.

I had a problem with that new loader bringing up the dev version even though it wasn't supposed to.  I believe I had to nuke my settings file to get it to behave itself.
