Dear sirs, when I install the mod, by-the-book, the game crashes on startup. Is there any way I can debug this? I can't disable the mod, don't see any console logs if running the Strive.exe from the commandline, the game just shows me splash screen for a couple of seconds and closes immediately afterwards. It happens only after the AricsExpansion mod itself, the bugfix mod before that installs without such problems.

I must note that after I enable AricsExpansion mod, the game tells me a warning about quite a lot of files being overwritten, but I suspect it's expected.

I tried removing everything in %AppData%/Strive, the game re-creates all the folders and the `progressdata` while starting and then silently crashes anyway.

1.Reinstall your game.

2. Start the game activate the bugfix and close the game. (need to be on the 1st place in the line)

3. Activate the AlricExpansion then close the game again. (need to be below the bugfix but above the other mods)

After that it should work.

I already did this thrice. I wrote that I even cleaned up not just the game directory, but even the %appdata%/Strive folder. It did not work.

I have found the reason of the problem after I used the debug .exe (the so-called "debug mod") and looked up the logs output. It seems from the code of the extension, that the folder of the extension in `%appdata%/strive/mods` must be called `AricsExpansion` without any version suffix. After the unpacking from the distrib archive the folder is called `AricsExpansion-1.8d` which completely 100% breaks the game startup.
