Game crashes with mods enabled after hotfix 53

Issue Type (Required):

Other

Issue Description (Required):

The game will immediately crash after pressing ‘Play’ in the launcher, if Darktide is patched to load mods. This happens even when NO mods are actually loaded = when no mods are listed in mod_load_order.txt. This started happening after updating to hotfix 53.

The game loads fine when it is not patched to load mods = after using toggle_darktide_mods.bat to unpatch.

I am running the latest version of the Darktide Mod Framework.
I have verified files using both the Darktide launcher and Steam.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Install Darktide Mod Framework
Update Darktide to latest version = 1.5.11 (hotfix 53)
Run toggle_darktide_mods.bat so that you get “Darktide is now patched to load mods”
Press ‘Play’ in the launcher.
The screen will go black for a moment (Darktide full screen being launched) and then you’ll get the crash popup:

mod related problems should be posted in the modding discord, or on nexus itself, as this is a mod problem and not a Fatshark problem

Your file fixed it. (I have overwritten a previous version of the file.)

I will keep Nexus/Discord in mind for future problems. (I assume you are involved with Darktide Mod Framework.)

Thank you!

I’m experiencing this issue too. Well, I guess it’s time to uninstall Darktide until it’s fixed.

The fix above didn’t work for you?

Oh this actually worked, thank you!

Thank you so much. I was so sad when the mods stopped working entirely.

Works like a charm. Thanks!
