Mods Enabled - Sim won't load

[mechanic]

Kind of an old topic but I did not find an answer in this thread. I am running the latest IL2 BoM v 3.012b.  I have installed JSGME, extracted mods to MODS and enabled various mods which all show up in the actual game data folder/files as having been installed but don't show up in the game.  I read elsewhere that one must tick the "enable mod" box in settings so I did and restarted the game to make that effective,  but the game would not load past the enter name and password loading page. I just keep getting the gear wheel icon spinning after entering my user ID and password. To get back into the game I went to task manager to close the game then I went into setup.cfg and changed modes=1 back to modes=0 and the game loads and plays just fine - but again without mods.  Scratching my head on this one - any thoughts or guidance welcome on how to enable the mods.

Salutations,

 

I believe your suspect is one of your mods. Run each mod 'alone' and check if the game runs with it normally.

 

If it does, add another mod and do the same. etc. etc.

 

You should find the culprit mod. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply Thad. I had thought about a mod conflict and should have mentioned that in trying to solve for this issue I removed and deleted the MODS folder and all mods and even the JSGME executable and .ini from the main directory folder. Even with all MODS removed, when I check the box "Enable Mods" in the settings and restart the program, my password has been stripped out (even though it was closed with the "remember password" in place) and once I re-type in my password and hit enter,  the gear wheel icon just spins and the program will not load. As mentioned in my previous post,  to get the sim running again I have to manually enter the setup.cfg and change modes=1 back to modes=0 and then restart. I'm still searching for a solution.

What you describe is not the typical experience; the game should load normally with mods enabled (assuming that no bad files are present). 

 

It's possible that the process of installing or uninstalling mods (or some other action on your computer) went wrong somehow, leaving behind files that cause the loading to fail.

 

Unfortunately, I can't think of any solution other than a complete reinstall. If that doesn't fix it, something extremely strange must be going on.
