Game crash installing 8.6.12

[dj1917]

Bug Report! I just tried to install 8.6.12, it starts extracting, gets stuck at 198, and the game crashes. I've installed previous versions before with no problems.

Try manually extracting with WinZip or similar - I've experienced problems with the ingame file extractor before, and that should work.

Hey Thal,

I'm getting a game crash when trying to install 8.6.12. I've removed all other mods and have cleared out both the cache and moduserdata folders but still crashing on install. Looking through the log files there were 2 that included references to errors...

Hopefully you'll be able to piece together what the problem is here...let me know if there's anything more you'd need from me to nail this one down.

I added a single space " " inside the empty "BR - General.sql" file and it should work now. Try re-downloading and installing v8.6.12.

It turns out the installer crashes if the archive contains an empty sql file. Extracting it with 7zip always works, but the mod browser has bugs.

The errors in those log files are unrelated vanilla bugs we're unable to fix with our current modding tools.
