Game Crashes on Startup (Fatal: Null)
« on: June 05, 2022, 10:02:38 AM »

When I launch the game, the loading screen appears for a few seconds and then crashes saying Fatal: Null and to check the log.
Code

Looks like a mod didn't add a ship correctly. Disable your newest mod and try loading the game again. Keep disabling mods until you are able to get to the main menu, then try to load again with everything except that last mod enabled.

Do that until you have all the crashing mods isolated (should just be the one, though) and then let the mod authors know about the crashes.

Thank you for the response!

The mod causing it ended up being Arma Armatura, a shame since it's a very cool mod. I'll make a post letting the mod author know.

Edit: After messing about some more I've come to realize it wasn't the Arma Armatura mod that was doing it, it was the Machina Void Shipyards addon for the Arma Armatura mod. I believe it was doing this because I didn't have the Machina Void Shipyards base mod downloaded. So this is actually user error, my bad!
