Re: [MOD RELATED] Plumbob on the loading screen glitches/ replaced with llama image

I did that, i'm still having the issue... I found out that it's something in the mods folder, and I tried the 50/50 method, and I still cant find it.

    @kdollasignnnn  If you started with a clean folder, you wouldn't have anything in the mods folder.  Please test in a completely fresh folder, newly spawned, with nothing in it.

    I did start with a fresh folder, and I had no problems. But when I tried to put everything back in to test it, the problem came back.

    @kdollasignnnn  Then put only a few files back at a time.  If that batch causes a problem, split it and retest.  It's a good idea to delete localthumbcache.package each time you test as well.

    Okay, so I traked it down, and it's something in my CAS folder... I just have to track it down. Is there a quicker way that I can find it?

    @kdollasignnnn  The 50/50 method is pretty fast.  Even if you have literally a thousand files to sort, it should only take ten tests to find one bad file, or eleven once you test one last time to confirm that everything else works.

    I've tried the 50/50 method 20 times, everytime I think I found the bad file, it still doesn't work, is their literally anything else I can do?

    @kdollasignnnn  It's possible you have more than one bad file, in which case you'd have to keep retesting until you'd found all of them and confirmed that the rest worked.  But since you know the game works with none of that custom content present, it has to be something in that folder.

    Hopefully you're deleting localthumbcache.package as well, since that stores cached images and can complicate troubleshooting.

    Okay, so I've narrowed it down to 3 Test Folders, the first two were clean, the last one is the one with he bad file in it, I just have to search through it to find it.

  • Okay, so I finally fixed it. It was a hair cc file, I can’t recall the name of it because I found it last night.

    In the list of broken mods for this patch, most of them have been updated already, but the 50/50 method worked, just try putting a few files into your game at once to track down the one thats causing issues.

  • I too am having this problem but am struggling to narrow it down. Is the item you deleted still in your trash folder? Maybe we have the same one
