    I've seen this happen if an instance in the SCN is missing it's closing bracket.

    It appears the SLS safety car that has a similar issue.

    There's another post about the SLS safety car at Indy

    The issue may be completely different, but looks related

    You are correct. Near the bottom of the Nords SCN file found an instance with a missing closed bracket.

    Code:
    Instance=gptents
    {
      MeshFile=gptents.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(Static, Solid)

    Not a single comment about this known bug from ISI yet. It is hopeless reporting things when they are not appreciated.

    What that does have to do with fixing trees from nords by including a missing parenthesis? The same component with the missing parenthesis worked in previous builds...

    It was a bug in the mod. IMO the behavior change (trees) as they probably changed something in the parser which is now less tolerant. I don't really see which kind of comment they need to do here. Probably tools used to create a track need to detect this kind of problem before? I'm not sure which toolchain is used from the scratch until it end in the game, so it's just some (obvious) assumptions ;)

    If it ignored the bad syntax before, I would consider that a bug. If anything ISI has fixed a bug which in turn caused the bad track to have problems.

    Considering it could cause previously loading components to fail loading as they did before or who knows if even not loading it should have been prevented to 3rd party modders in the release notes.

    As you say it might be a fix, but without the appropriate communication it converts into a bug since it has the same effects until the "fix" is found.

    Sorry Spaskis, I thought you were referring to the miata issue.

    I would think that requiring a closing parenthesis in .scn file would be mandatory. Maybe the new parsers are more strict?

    Don't need to apologize...
    Indeed the new engine seems to be more restrictive or simply doing things right that were skipped by previous builds. In any case as I said some offixial explanation of what we could expect would be nice to have. It is very unpleasant to have to reach unofficial conclusions this way.
