Lighting mods crashed my game, removed them but still crashed!

@rhrhmm If running vanilla (empty mods folder) is fine, then it's likely either you had a corrupted Resource.cfg file or some other problem in your mods. That could include the lighting mods you added, which might have had files you missed or something similar. You can try putting mods back in to see how it goes. Narrowing these problems down is often trial-and-error.
