PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU HAVE MODS, YOU WILL CRASH!

If you "suddenly" crash after the update, it's because your game is modified. Use the threads in the forum to solve your issue. Uninstall your mods if you can't start the game or wait until the mod developers have updated the mods to work with the game.

We've gotten a lot of crash logs recently that we can't do anything about because it's all about mods crashing your games.

If you have tampered with your game files, you've done so at your own risk knowing that it will affect your software.

As a last resort, e-mail us directly.

Have a great Halloween!
