MAS utility and ModManager crashing

Hi all. If I excecute the two utilites above into their "proper" rf2 folder, at a certain point both stop working.
-The MAS utility keeps growing into ram memory as it get stuck in a loop, starting when I try to "create the package file"
-The ModManager does the same (growing into ram) and it doesn not even open up
--> I specify in their proper location/folder because if I bring them somewhere else (eg. desktop) it looks like they work again.
What I already tried:
-delete .dat files (as written in an old thread regarding a similar issue)
-fresh install rF2
-fresh install all C++ redistributables
-running those files as administrator
-completely disable UAC from regedit

Zero change. Any ideas? I think the fact that both get stuck into ram looping its the most meaningful information I can share.

Tried. Didn't work. I mean the modmanager starts now, but when i set the proper working directory crashes again. Also no change on the MasUtility, it keeps getting chonkier and chonkier in ram as written above.

 

I had a crashing MAS utility once. Resolved it with removing (or renaming to be save) following files/ folders:

• %APPDATA%\~MASTEMP
• %APPDATA%\pkginfo.dat
• %APPDATA%\cmpinfo.dat

 

For mod manager, if you empty out your package folder see if that works? I once had a corrupt file in my package folder that stopped mod manager working.

 

Good point, but unluckily that's already empty (I'm using only workshop items atm)

 

I can not think of anything else
edit "all_vehicles.ini" delete all content

 

It's probably the old "pkginfo.dat" is full and needs to be deleted. Do a windows search and delete it

 

Ty mate. Unfortunately that's the first thing I did , as in my 1st post

 

Interesting, tried, still nothing. Crazy stuff uh?

 

yes ... it has earned me

 

So did you end up getting ModManger to work again?

 

Just repacking a mod upgrade.ini to unlock telemetry channel in motec, most common stuff in the world of rf2

 

no way.
