second time today. at first thought it was new mod (color picker 0.16). Disabled mod and launched OK once. Launching a second time (color picker still disabled) crashed again.

Crash occurred after clicking load but before and loading info was being displayed. This was not a crash to desktop but a crash report then a frozen window. Had to force quit.

You are not using the latest version, if you can produce the crash after updating the game, post log, save, and complete .ziped mods folder please.

I'm moving it to pending until it is re-tried in 0.16.43 and (if it still persists), the save is provided.

Downloaded 16.43 and tested. Launched fine (1 time). Working now so will test additional times after work to be sure.

Just checked again over lunch, loaded successfully. I would consider this report resolved unless some dev wants to dig deeper.

Spoke too soon. Had two more successful loads for some short play before and after dinner. Just tried to load again and got another crash/freeze.

30.448 Error ModManagerGui.cpp:382: Failed to parse changelog for mod Bio_Industries: invalid changelog file, error on line 1.

That is not a crash, that's a mod error. The time for the error is strange, did you open the changelog at time of the error?

No, never touched the change log file. I don't think I updated Bio-industries or any other mod between launch attempts either. I did update it over the weekend though, before these load issues started happening.

Not sure why this froze but the situation was a little different. Had been playing testing out a different factory layout. Made a save before making changes. Layout ideas didn't work so tried to reload save point. This is when crash occurred. Older autosaves will load but if I save again, even without making any changes, that save will also freeze on load.

Try if removing the bio industries mod files fixes it. If not, post your complete .ziped mods folder and a save with the issue.

with bio industries enabled
- loaded old save - OK
- saved then reloaded new save - freeze

with bio industries disabled
- loaded frozen save - OK
- saved (renamed) then reloaded - OK

with bio industries reenabled
- loaded renamed save - OK (many objects removed)
- saved and reloaded renamed save - OK
- loaded save file prior to rename - froze again

I guess this problem is related to bio industries but only if there are mod unique objects on the map.

Note, that mod can easily freeze the game when it makes an infinite loop or something like that.
