The mod version checker says "Failed to load" from the link you've provided.

Good morning, I will try to help figure this out but some more detail would be helpful.
Are you running the game under Linux?
Do you use a third party mod manager or the one that comes with the game launcher?
Have you been able to run it in prior version of the mod with no issue?

I ask these questions because before responding to your message, I downloaded the mod and reinstalled it and received no errors when I started a game. I then checked dropbox where I host the version file to see if it was down but had no problem accessing it. Lastly I downloaded just the version file and it does match the current version of the game and the two embedded links were correct. I am at a bit of a loss why you are receiving an error and my first response was going to be to try re-downloading the mod as your file may have been corrupted but I wanted to cover all the potential bases.

Thanks for reaching out so quickly.

I'm currently running the latest version of the game (to my knowlege). Game running on Windows 11, using the mod manager that comes with the game and this is the first time I try to run it. It used to run fine just a few days ago.
I deleted the file from my mod game file and redownloaded the one you provide, but it says:

Name: Hiver Swarm
Installed version: v1.1.1
Online version: Failed to get version
failed to load master version file from URL "https://www.dropbox.com/s/hxk0wha4muuqkkp/HIVER.version?dl=1"

OK thank you for the details. I clicked the link you posted and it is correct. This version of the mod has been out for over a month and this is the first report of this nature that has been reported. I also noted you are having the same issue with Diable Avionics which I also use with no issues. The only thing I can think of is that your IP is blocking the link for one reason or another. I checked Diable's version file and it uses github as it's host and I use dropbox so it is most likely not that. I will look into this further but at this stage I am honestly stumped. Maybe Caymon Joestar has a better answer so keep tuned to that forum as well.

I am sorry I do not have a solution to your problem at this time.

Thank you anyway. I'm not an expert by any means but I'll try to dig a bit see what I can find. One thing I do have is NoScript installed in Firefox (that's what I'm using, btw). I don't know If that could be doing something. I also have the free version of Bitdefender.

You might check your Bitdefender logs and check to make sure that it didn't automatically quarantine something.  There's been reports of Windows Defender erroneously flagging files in Magiclib this week too.

@Shogouki good advice, thank you for offering it. I had not thought of that, hope it does the trick for ThatsMyFootThanks

Thanks, but I don't see anything odd in the logs and I don't have archives in quarantine. Maybe some other mod I have installed is causing this somehow? I'm gonna try to delete my internet cache and try again.
Btw... What IF the version checker of the game is acting up on some computers?

That'd be a problem with the Version Checker then, not with Hiver Swarm. Note that it isn't "of the game" but from another mod. The basegame has no online version checker for mods.

Oooh I wait I though it had. Maybe I have installed it or it came with another mod and I just can't remember. Maybe Nexerilin or something?

[ThatsMyFootThanks]

Only problem it'll cause is that you won't be made aware IG of new updates for those mods, really. You can play without problem at all.
The "bug" if you can call it that is the URL doesn't redirect correctly, so the checker can't do its job in those cases. The URL problem comes from the mod author's side though, not Nex.

So tldr: won't brick your save, won't ctd. It's just telling you it doesn't know if there are new updates for those mods.

-------------------
That was a replay from the Nexerelin mod about this issue potentially being caused by their version checker. Apparently it's fine to just play with it.

Maybe a silly question, but I don't suppose you can play as the swarm?

Sort of. I do have directions to make them playable in the README file that is included in the Zip as well as under the spoiler tag labeled: The mod comes with several optional files that can be enabled before the start of a new game on this forum page's OP. I state the sort of because they are set up to be a NPC faction so if you make them playable then their faction alignment setting that make them hate and be hated by everyone blend with the "player" faction settings. So essentially when you make them playable it uses the Nexerelin player settings.

TLDR: If you enable the option to make them playable you will be on good standing with the Hivers however the faction itself will remain enemies with all other factions. As the player you will have some factions that are neutral to favorable as well as several enemies.

Ok that's what I thought. I'm not gonna play with them I just wanted to make sure that they're supposed to be the "scary" end game enemy faction type of deal. (Sooo as in normal mode they're sort of like the AI ships you can't take them for yourself even if you beat them in combat right?)
