Thanks for the reply greystork. I have tried that, I also tried to delete 1.3.5 & load up 1.3.3... all to no avail. Funny thing is, it worked perfectly a few days ago (I don't know which version of BAE I had but I assume it was 1.3.5 as I was also running KSP 1.0.5). KSP was taking FOREVER to load, many parts were doubled in inventory and it crashed all the time. So I deleted all mods and re-uncompressed then recopied them into GameData. Ever since then it hangs on loadup.
