Deleted the mod as requested, but still no luck.

I do however keep getting this in my log file


"Warning: Mod-List download failed... retry in 4.018467 s. 1 trail"

Get rid of all the 'unpack/unzip' files, they shouldn't be in there, get the zip files that are inside them. That would fix half the errors.
Delete the ' (1)' from the arcusin mod, will fix that error too.
But these shouldn't crash your game, the files just can't be read as mods.

This indicates that the game can't connect to the ModHub servers, which is either caused by an issue with the internet connection on your side, or there was an issue with the servers on Giants side. Since I've just downloaded some mods from the in-game ModHub on the macOS version of the game without problems I don't think the issue is on Giants side, therefore I would recommend that you check the Internet connection of your Windows system.

Since you have a large amount of mods from various sources installed I'd also recommend to try to remove all of them from the mods folder and then check if the game is able to start again and you are able to start a new career on one of the two standart maps. If this works you can start moving the mods back to the mods folder one-by-one and then check after moving back each mod if the game still works.

Removed all mods and game started no problem.

Will move mods back one at a time to see which one is causing the game to crash,

Appreciate the help.

Will do.

Just a little thing but will the game not run higher than medium? I thought the rx580 was half decent?

I have been running the game on high custom settings for a while now.

I have a issue with the game crashing when i add mods. In the log i have added it states that there is only 15 mods in the game, when actually there is a fair few more than that, yet they do not show up.

The game runs great without mods and downloading from the modhub, the game runs smooth as butter too. Kinda lost as to what is causing the issue.

Did a fresh install of the game from steam and all that lovely stuff too.

Again you have stuff in you mods folder that shouldn't be there:

Code: Select all

Error: Invalid mod name 'european_truck_ pack_unzip'! Characters allowed: (_, A-Z, a-z, 0-9). The first character must not be a digit

As the 'pack_unzip' in the name implies this seems to be a mod pack that you need to extract first, and then put the separate pieces of the mod pack in the mods folder.

Code: Select all

Load mod: caseIH1660seriesByStevie (Version: 1.0.0.4)
Load mod: caseIH7130SeriesbyStevie (Version: 1.0.0.3)
Load mod: caseIH9230SeriesbyStevie (Version: 1.0.0.3)
Load mod: caseIHpackByStevie (Version: 1.0.0.0)
Load mod: caseih_titan4540 (Version: 1.0.0.1)
Load mod: Case_Farmlift_735 (Version: 1.0.0.0)
Load mod: catCR1090ByStevie (Version: 1.0.0.3)
Load mod: challengePackbyStevie (Version: 1.0.0.0)
Load mod: Claas_Lexion580 (Version: 0.1)
Load mod: Claas_Lexion_Pack (Version: 1.0.0.0)
Load mod: deutzFahrPackbyStevie (Version: 1.0.0.0)
Load mod: DeutzFahr_L_X_700 (Version: 1.2.1.0)

Based on the names of these mods, they don't seem to be form the official ModHub (if they were from the official ModHub their names would start with 'FS17_'), therefore they most likely have not been tested as thoroughly as the mods from the official ModHub and might cause problems even though no errors or warnings are written in the log.txt. Therefore I'd suggest to remove those mods to see if it fixes you issue.

BTW. does the crash happen already before the game gets to the main menu, or does it only crash when you try to load an existing savegame?

After a little bit of looking about, it was an issue with high disk usage. Something on my computer was maxing it out. Superfetch was the culprit which was preventing the game from loading and thus causing it to crash. Disabled it and the game loads perfect.

Thank you for you help.
