Crash Help: Crash on Startup

[dbr117]

Game crashes immediately on startup on either 1.2 main or 1.3 Beta. I have checked all of my mods for updates, and compatibility with 1.3. I use the vortex manager's auto-sorting, reinstalled all my mods, verified the main files, and even tried the mod 'Fixed Launcher' but nothing seems to work. The game works without any mods, but i'm not sure where the issue is.

 

Load Order:

1. Native

2. SandBox Core

3. Custom Battle

4. Sandbox

5. Storymode

6. Aragas.MercenaryContract (v1.0.10)

7. BannerLib (v0.0.9)

8. DeveloperConsole (1.3.2)

9. Improved Garrisons 2.0.8 - Stable- For 1.3

10. Mixed Gender Troops - For Beta Branch 1.30 (0.11.0)

11. SettlementIcons-v-1-2-0

12. SmithingHideUnknown (1.0.1)

13. TweakLord (0.1.2)

14. Xorberax's Shoulder Cam 0.5.0

15. zCulturedStart BETA 1.3 (1.1.9)

11. SettlementIcons was updated to v1.2.1 to be more compatable with 1.3, no changes still crashes on startup.

tried installing communitypatch v0.0.2-hotfix-5, and ModConfigurationMenu v2.0.7, no changes still crashes on startup.

once again reinstalled all mods, checked for updates, and verified all main game files.

Tried switching to Hardlinks deployment method as suggested in 'Fixed Launcher' posts, still crashes on Launch.

Did you try to install the mods manually (aka dropping them into the Modules folder)? I read that Vortex causes problems with M+b II currently, don't know why and wether it's true. I don't use a mod manager, just Launcher Fixer and a DLL unblocker and except one mod which makes the game crash on start (Realistic Battle mod, and I'm clueless why) all mods I tried till now worked flawlessly.

I used the vortex manager to install the mods, but I'm not sure why or where it's causing problems, the mods are placed into the modules folder either way (or at least they are in my case). If it really is a problem with vortex, then I guess i'll just have to wait until they patch it....

After finally going through every mod, I've finally found what was causing the issue. Apparently Aragas.MeceneryContract or 'Limited Mercenary Contract' was causing the crash. Hopefully the mod is updated soon, cause it was a great quality of life improvement.
