I've just added two mods to the game, SCP and Rebirth but the game crashes as soon as I launch it. I don't know it it's to do with the mods or a problem with windows 10 as I haven't played it on windows 10 yet and it worked fine on 8.

It even crashes when the mods are deactivated.

How do I get it to work because I want to play these mods.

EDIT: Fixed the game not launching but now when I start a new game, all I get is a black screen of death(TM) and nothing happens. I can pause the game but neither the intro nor the training level loads. This only happens when the mods are active though I do hear a section of the level's ambient noise because it cuts out and the bug occurs.

How do I fix that?

first, lets make sure you are loading mods properly. if you do, provide your shock2.log and crash.dmp (zip them and upload to some online storage, post the link).

The zip file is on One Drive.

I wouldn't be able to make sense of it but I do know that having only Rebirth active makes ojbects like the tram disappear and for some reason, the FMV doesn't work and I'm not sure if the latter is a vanilla SS2 bug.

EDIT: FMV seems to work now since I freshly reinstalled it, even with Rebirth running bug the missing objects bug is still active.

EDIT: having the objects folder in the main game folder (copied not cut) seems to trigger the missing objects. removing it seems to fix it but that might be the original objects, I'm not sure.


RE-EDIT: I think the mod is working fine when the only the mesh folder is in the game one, but none of the new enemy objects appear and are invisible.

you are running a very old ND version. patch up with SS2tool, then see whether the game works properly. if it does, load one mod. if everything is still ok, load another one etc. if cutscenes don't work, just reboot the computer.

are you the same guy, btw?

On the SS forum? The Lion O Cyborg guy? Yeah that's my other alias.

Patching with the SS2 Tool just makes the textures glitch out in both vanilla and modded like a hall of mirrors in a coral reef.

The crash log was put up before I tried patching however and I reinstalled the game again when I encountered said patch glitches to fix it.

EDIT: Just in case you're here first, here is the link to the second log files zip; Log Files 2.

I repatched with SS2 tool to trigger the glitches in order to send the new crash log etc.
