I tried updating the game from Steam, and now I keep getting this error

[H0LOdm]

I installed the update the same way I first installed the mod, I even tried restoring the previous version's update to no avail.

if the image isn't working, the error is as follows:

"I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code: File "game/splash.rpy", line 5, in script File "game/splash.rpy", line 10, in Exception: DDLC archive files not found in /game folder. Check installation and try again.
