Win10? I noticed some big issues this update. Might have to reinstall finally but I wanna put it off. Performance in game is how I like it so I’ll have to take many pictures of settings and backup mods…

But I did a backup files after Skitarius and 1 or more folders t’were missing…

Appears to be a non-descript Access Violation, so it’s tricky for us to pinpoint the exact cause.
