Hey, sorry to hear you're having this issue. You can zip the save file and the logs (if you crash, typically it'll make a crash dump .zip folder, or you can send me your kenshi_info.log / kenshi.log and any .dmp file you have). The save location by default is at C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\kenshi\save and you can just send the latest save that works.

The save file is typically pretty large, like 100-200+ mb or so.

You can upload it to Google Drive or any other file service you'd like, there's another discussion post where I was able to trouble shoot from a google drive, but it's up to you how you want to send it. You can add me on Steam or Discord (igordolvich#9486) if you want to send it privately.

Also, if you could, what are the additional mods you have installed? Does it work if you disable the other mods you've added?

^ Crash dump

I unfortunately don't have the save files anymore as I went nuclear and mass deleted in hopes it would fix it. Which it currently seems to, but I'm not sure what I even did differently outside of deleting all my saves.

Off the top of my head, and the fact that I organized the mods in their respective areas in the managers, I can't remember all of the extra ones I added. They were basic though, things like swamper plate and other vanilla friendly mods.

Thank you!

I'll take a look at the crash log and read the .dmp files, unfortunately without the save it would probably be kinda hard to replicate on my end. Please let me know if it happens again.

As for the Swamper Plate and such, that was added in a recent patch. Check the updated version of this list, you might have the items you like already added to the list!

If you have any suggestions, please let me know and I'll more than likely add them (certain things will probably require patching by me, but most relatively simple mods like clothing and weapons are pretty easy to add).

Edit: After looking at a few of the logs, make sure that the following mod is at the very bottom of the list even if you add additional stuff. It's pretty important. (CTD Fix)

-KCF autogenerated patch-[www.nexusmods.com]

Line 376 of kenshi_info.log: {0x000070ec} 2023-06-22 07:20:31 [info]: [Mods] Loaded mod: -KCF autogenerated patch-

Everything after this line is throwing massive errors for various reasons, which is probably the reason for the crash overall. I noticed some of the mods on the list you added are also inherently incompatible with each other, such as Living World (interacts with the same stuff as Kaizo, you can use Living World but you'd have to disable Kaizo / Kaizo-UWE patch first and use whatever LW patches are available for UWE). Please let me know if you need help setting up the load order if you want to use LW instead.


Edit 2: Also, I noticed you installed a few additional performance mods by SCARaw, I personally recommend using Kenshi Performance Fix[www.nexusmods.com] (by the same person), it's essentially a collection of all their other fixes rolled into a single "mod". Certain errors like (kenshi.log):

07:21:52: [blah blah blah] - Internal format is PF_DXT1,256x2048x1.

or

07:21:59: [blah blah blah] is an older format ([MeshSerializer_v1.40]); you should upgrade it as soon as possible using the OgreMeshUpgrade tool.

will be resolved by the Performance Fix, as well as boosting performance since it's no longer using inefficient particle effects and such. If you use the Performance Fix, you don't really need the other Performance mods by SCARaw (doesn't hurt to add it, just a personal opinion).

Sorry for writing a huge block of text, I was pretty much typing while I was looking through it lol

Essentially, it would crash because of running out of memory or other similar reasons. I think cleaning up the edited version of the list and sorting it to prevent conflicts would resolve your issue. Sorry that it happened to you, I know it can be pretty frustrating to figure out what's going on, particularly on longer saves like you mentioned.

Please let me know if you need help with anything, and I'm glad you're giving the list a try.

Cheers thanks for the info. I'll make sure to go through all of this

Seems your fixes have helped. I had initially thought living world would work since I found a patch, but I didn't even consider kaizo. I appreciate the help with this really obscure issue. I'll update if I ever find another similar crash while being more careful with my mod choice.

That's great! I'm glad it's working more stable-y now. Yes, please let me know if you have any other issues with the list. The base list as it currently is should be very stable (surprisngly lol), you just have to watch out for potential conflicts whenever you add additional mods.

If you need help sorting additional mods, I can help with that too.
