    Today, I decided to sit down and mod Nightly. The launcher didn't launch the game as I hoped, so I tried to manually launch the game, only for that to not work either. Checked starbound.log:

    Checked the assets folder for packed.pak - it's there. Checked sbboot.config - everything seems fine. Unpacked the assets with asset_unpacker.exe just fine. Deleted and repacked with asset_packer.exe (as an experiment) to no avail.

    Typical nightly brokenness, eh?

    Did you have that nightly fixes mod? Because I was having the same problem and removing it made starbound work again.

    No, I did not. However, I did have three other modpack files installed and replacing them with unpacked versions fixed the launch issue. Now I'm getting a fatal exception while loading, and I believe it is a mod issue because an empty mods folder loads fine.

    I have the same problem.
    For me, the game runs fine if I remove all modpak files and only leave unpacked mods


    Edit: manually trying to unpack those mods throws the same error.

    I think this is just a bug like usual anyway. I can get to the first menu but the moment I click on the character it closes out.

    Edit: Put this in wrong discussion I'm not using mods I meant to put this in the Character select discussion sorry!!!

    What modpack file mods are you currently using @Shadechaser?

    I had another nightly discussion about mods, and from my experimentation, the issue is just caused by the .modpack extension. I use a lot of mods, as seen below, and every one of the .modpack files cause issues, although "folder mods" cause no issues. It's just typical Nightly brokenness; nothing to worry about. It'll probably be fixed within a couple weeks.[​IMG]

    Don't install modpacks on Nightly. Nightly only accepts pak files now, and having no packed mods will allow the game to run regardless.
