    Hello!

    Everytime I try to pack mas files I got:

    "Encountered an improper argument"

    Happens with any file.

    Already deleted all rf2 files from steam folder and reinstalled.. Did not help me.

    Is there any idea what is causing this one?

    rf1 mas utility is working like it should be.

    using win10

    Hi Postipate try this it works whenever the mas2 stops making rfmods so it should fix your problem.
    Look in Users\name\appdata\roaming\. pkginfo.dat. . You should be able to delete that file and the MAS tool will work again.

    really boring data processing..
    No computer no problem...
    perhaps if i burn it or bake it at 150° 15mn, it resolve the problem

    I get this error as well on a machine with Windows 7, and I don't have the file mentioned in my appdata folder, and if I launch the utility as administrator, I can't even drag and drop files into it.

    EDIT: Just tried on a different machine with Windows 10, and that works. So the current version of the utility requires Windows 10.
