Bug/Issue Crash On Startup

Have taken a break, came back after 1.4 to a whole host of new problems, mostly related to mods I bet. I cleaned out my mods this morning and the game seemed to work when playing with a friend, however went to launch it just now and it gives a giant error message:

• It occurred after launching the game via steam
• Happened repeatedly, even after logging out and back in
  
• GTX 960, i7-3770 Quad-Core processor, Windows 10, 16 GB RAM
• Windowed Fullscreen
• Mods: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=779836777

 

Thanks for the swift response!

So I went and checked this and it's allowed on all settings by Norton, and all seems in order-and I even uninstalled all mods and launched the game just in case-it still won't run as a clean folder, no mods...

 

I checked the location of the logs you have listed for this forum and it's not there, do you know the current location?

I found it, I think:

 

When you say remove mod, do you mean clean out the mod folder? I have un-subbed from all mods on steam.

 

Okay so I checked the mods folder, and what was still in the folder was not my mods, but symlinks used to run SWEL with PenGUIn (which I have not yet updated)

I deleted them, and the game still won't launch-it no longer gives the error message window, and the actual game window launches, but then closes before the Chucklefish logo shows up.

New log

 

Okay but if I don't have any mods installed and it's still crashing that's a problem

 

Both the ones I sent were without mods! My mods folder is clear, and I am not subscribed to any mods via steam! There. Are. No. Mods.

 

Okay then I need help locating them. Cause this is what my mods folder looks like:

Alright update, I had to go through my mods via steam, and I did find the one you mentioned and unsubscribe for it-which was odd, since it was neither in my mods folder, or in my collections. It is now back to crashing before the game window launches, and pops up a window instead, as it did before clearing my mod folder of the symlinks.

 

Well crap. See this is a big problem, which I'll have to get help with. I need those symlinks in order to be able to use mods while running my dedicated server via PenGUIn, and if they're not in there I have to run the Dedicated as vanilla as does anyone who joins, otherwise it won't work. That's not great.

Let me clear the folder and try....

Alright yeah, works with the Symlinks deleted. That's great...

Do you happen to know anyone who works with PenGUIn and can help me get it set back up for 1.4 cause otherwise I can't run my dedicated with mods which...at this stage in the game's life means not a lot of people will want to join

 

Respond to show me you love me then!

That fixes this one problem, I was able to reinstall my regular mod collection at least, I'll have to hunt for someone to help me set up symlinks and such with PenGUIn if I can...
