Saving PackFile prevents game from loading #233

Closed Diehydra closed 1 year ago

Opening data.pack and saving it (no changes made)

prevents the game from loading. restoring backup data.pack game loads fine (I also purchased champions of chaos DLC at same time rpfm update happened)

4.0.2

Yes, I have the same problem. Been using RPFM for years (thanks!), and today after the RPFM update I was working on my TW:Troy mod as usual, tinkering it. Everything was working fine as usual, and I was liking the changes in the update, but after I saved the mod packfile and started up Troy, it wouldn't load and crashed.

I thought I broke something in the mod, so I changed the value back and tried again, same thing. After some trial and error, I figured out that I had to revert to the pre-RPFM update saved mod packfile to get Troy to load. Then I tried just opening that older packfile and saving it with no changes and found that it too crashed the game.

Anyway, if I overlooked the solution then I apologize. Keep up the good work! :]

Edit: BTW, I was using the rpfm_ui.exe, and I have since cleared all my schema files, and redownloaded them again, and unfortunately the result was the same.

does still happen with 4.0.3? If so, can anyone of you upload a pack before and after gets broken for comparison?

Yes, I have attached a .zip file here containing two mod pack files, both the same exact mod for Troy, one saved before and after the new version of RPFM with no other changes to the data.

"Mod_BeforeSave.pack" -- this was was saved a few days ago before the new RPFM version, and it works (the game loads).

"Mod_AfterSave.pack" -- this was saved just now, in the new RPFM version, and it doesn't load (game hangs at the splash screen, then crashes).

The version of RPFM I have is "4.0.3 -- 2.0 2" (in the "About RPFM" dialog). I checked for updates and there wasn't any, so hopefully I am in the correct version as I don't want to waste your time.

Thanks for investigating! :)

Update:

Looks like 4.0.4 fixed my issue. Thanks, much appreciated!
