1.6 and Ogg files crashing

[shifty303]

1.6 seems to crash at startup upon loading any mods that have ogg audio files. If I remove the mod that caused it to fail it will load further until it reaches another mod with ogg files.

I know that 1.6 is unlikely to be compatible with some mods but I was bored and wanted to test. I searched the forums but couldn't find this posted elsewhere. Anyone have ideas as to why this happens?

This might be due to something within the mod, and not specific to the ogg files included. Best to ask the specific mod authors about it.

I thought that might be the case until started removing the mods it would stop on one by one and went through 4 (different creators) before I decided to stop testing. Every time it crashed while loading it was on an ogg asset. I don't want to name the mods in case it's an issue caused by myself but I figured I'd check to see if anyone else encountered it.

I figured it out! Apparently my update didn't download and install correctly.

I couldn't launch vanilla either so I verified the game files in steam and it found and fixed one bad file, then launched. I moved the new files to my modded installation and works as it should.

Such an odd behavior for a bad file.
