I can't quite parse that sentence.

A hangar crash comes from corrupted resources, usually multiple mods conflicting.

Changes that persist despite patching-without-mods: suggests the backups GMM had made of FTL's resources are bad.

See this post for how to resolve that.

Still can't understand the bold parts of your post.

The link provides instructions to get back to vanilla FTL without mods or corruption.

• Delete the files in GMM/backup/
• Steam edition: Delete the FTL/resources/ directory and "verify game cache".
• Standalone edition: Reinstall FTL.

At that point, the game should not crash.

Then if you run GMM, it'll make new backups. Patching with no mods should result in an unmodded game, one that doesn't crash.

If you've confirmed that much, then if you get a crash from adding mods, it's the fault of the mods themselves or the combination/order of several together.

I would like the author to release an official fix for this error:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30270697/python275.png
I normally don't trust non-official files.

Anyway, I have just updated to Python 2.7.5 and it still doesn't work.

How do I fix my resource.dat and data.dat being read-only?

First it would be wise to make a copy of these files as a backup. Then right click on one and select properties. There should be a check box titles read only, uncheck it and select ok to save changes.

Thanks, but after checking things it seems that wasn't the problem . Now the crash log says: "DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application"
