[0.12.24, Steam] Error on Load (Lua?)

[mideg]

I have just installed Factorio on Steam. Whenever I start I encounter the attached error message. It reads:

"
---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
__WaiTex__/data-updates.lua:1: __WaiTex__/prototypes/Base-Override.lua:293: attempt to index field 'rail' (a nil value)
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
"

I have checked that my WIndows is up-to-date. I have the most current graphics drivers. I have reinstalled Factorio and tried the start option "--force-d3d". I have also tried some of other avaiable versions, but not the experimental version. I have also tried to reboot Windows and switched from internal Graphics to dedicated graphics and back.

My System

Windows 10 Home
Intel Cire i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M
16GB RAM
64-Bit-Betriebssystem

I have searched these forums and the known bugs etc. I hope I didn't miss it, but I believe this bug is not yet reported. Otherwise, please kindly point me toward the thread. Thanks!

You have an old version of the WaiTex mod installed. Go to the Application directory in %appdata%\Factorio (usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Factorio) and delete the mods folder.

Uhh, thanks. Now I feel silly. That's entirely possible and probable and I forgot that I had the game modded.

Edit: I deleted the mod files and it now works flawlessly. Thanks again!
