for the past few days i have lost countless hours trying to recover this mod. It suddenly (and i mean suddenly) started throwing a very cryptic error that insta-crash the game when you selected it in the store.
As of 10 minutes ago i got it working again! Can’t tell you how happy i am to see it loading again. I have to go back through and see what all has been lost in the troubleshooting, but i don’ t even care about that. Just having it all working again is an amazing feeling.
In the process, i was able to get the GIANTS Editor to update the modesc.xml to properly reflect the configs of the machine. This has made it load much faster and perform overall much better in the game.
