Game won't start with "mods off" mode?

[keeno]

Hi all,

 

I normally play with a few MODs on, I wanted to play multiplayer tonight (racing if poss) and turned "MODs off" and then found my game wouldn't start. Putting "MODs enabled" allowed the game to start again. 

 

See the attached pic for error code.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance.

Do you use JSGME to apply mods?   If you do then my guess would be that your 'Clean' version is corrupted.   JSGME works by swapping out the correct files and replacing them with the modded versions then when you use JSGME to remove the mods (You *did* uninstall the mods first?) it puts the clean versions (the ones you told JSGME to save when you installed it) back in. If the clean version is corrupt it wont work.    I have not used JSGME for a while so I am guessing you also needed to update the 'clean' files held by JSGME after the last update.

Thanks for the reply Roblex, I do use JSGME for MODS. 
 

next question..... how do I fix it?

 

cheers

In JSGME switch off all mods then try logging in online in mods off mode.

Thanks for the reply Arthur,

 

I’ve tried that first the game still wouldn’t start.

What I’m hoping to do is avoid a re-download! 
 

Any other idea?

 

Cheers

I am not sure you can without a re-install or at least a partial one.   Each mod on JSGME usually only changes a couple of files or a couple of specific small folders so If you look to see what files JSGME swaps over and can get the official versions of just those files from somewhere then you should be OK but otherwise you are going to have to do it from scratch.

Thanks Roblex,

 

I suspected that was the case!

 

Cheers again.
