FTL Captain's Edition 1.308/Inf 1.301b/EL 1.308

It would be nice if you pasted the actual modorder.txt from the mods folder, with only the mods you're running. Anyway, I take it disabling the endless~ mods didn't work? Have you tried disabling other mods one by one? Also try removing your save file temporarily to see if it solves the problem.

Other than that, what does the error say? When exactly does it appear (what is 'actual game')?

[stylesrj]

I'm not sure if it's causing problems but the Artillery Crash Fix should only be installed after you've saved and quit after buying an artillery system. Otherwise you start the game with every ship having an installed artillery system.

My modorder.txt:

CE Resource Pack 1.28.ftl
FTL Captains Edition 1.283.ftl
CE Vanilla Portrait Patch V2.ftl
Artillery Crash Fix 1.0.ftl
Extended Pursuit Indicator x24 with numbers v.1.0.ftl
randomFlagship.ftl

EDIT: I now tried only installing the Resource Pack and CE itself, still having the same issues.

And the error? Did you try getting rid of the save, or redownloading all the relevant stuff?

I'm having an issue with the mod, and I'm not sure if anyone can help. While I'm sure there's a solution somewhere withing the 590+ page thread, I doubt I have the time or patience to trudge through such a massive proceeding. So, if anyone can help out, that'd be great.

I haven't even been able to start the mod, because it seems there is an error loading the resources necessary to run the mod. Here's what I know about what I've done, and how I've tried to load the mod:

~I use the slipstream mod manager (newest version)
~The only mods I have are the base CE mod and the corresponding CE resource pack
~I've tried loading them in opposite orders: no change
~The mods encompassed WITHIN the CE mod (such as the diverse crew types mod) seem to be working fine
~text and such appears to have changed, (Such as the Kestrel B having an 'old laser' on it) but graphic changes are nil
~I've tried running just the resource pack, rebooting the game, exiting, then running both resource and mod
~I've tried opening the game through the steam interface, shortcut, and through slipstream

So far I have encountered no solution, and I'm reasonably sure this is all I know that I've tried. If anyone knows a solution, please let me know! Thanks.

Did you download any mods before and leave them in before getting the latest version of Slipstream?
You may also want to try re-verifying the game cache or uninstalling FTL and reinstalling it.

[CygnusPrawn]

This was the first mod I've attempted to install (though your Clinton cruiser was tempting). I do have two questions though: One, (and this may seem like a rookie question) will reinstalling ftl wipe my data? And two, and be honest about this one, is captain's edition worth it?

[stylesrj]

I'm not sure about the data wiping but I think to be on the safe side you should have a backup of the FTL data.
Although if you verify the integrity of the game cache via Steam, you won't lose your saved data. It'll just look through the install directory and replace files that seem out of place with fresh new ones.

As for Captain's Edition, it depends on what you're looking for. If you want an added challenge to FTL, then yes it is worth it.
Otherwise, if you're struggling with the game and the RNG has it out for you and you haven't defeated the Flagship or you did it once and it was a lucky shot, then CE is probably not the soft of mod to use.

What's the error, when does the error appear? I'm sorry if i just didn't catch it, it's early, but I don't think you explained what the actual problem is. It sounds like it launches, but you can't see the graphical differences? At all? Are the ship loadouts changed? New ce events show up?

Perhaps you should re download the resource pack.
And/or look into the Large Address Aware thing mentioned in the troubleshooting, though that usually just makes the game crash at some point.

[CygnusPrawn]

Sorry, I guess I wasn't too specific. The game runs, but most of the graphical resources are missing. For instance, the areas where (I assume) ship rooms have been altered, there's blank gray areas, and while it says certain ships have certain weapons, such as an old laser, the graphics for such weapon are absent. CE events still occurred, and all the ship loadouts were altered, but I mainly think it's the resource pack that's causing troubles. I've tried all the troubleshooting, (bar reinstalling the game) but nothing has worked so far. I'll try reinstalling the resources, and see if I have better luck.
