SOLVED Build 910-Mas2.exe crashes when I try to make a vMOD.

I can not make a vMOD on my server.

I could... Now I can't; for some completely unknown reason. It worked one day and not the next.

When I select "Create new mod package". I wait... and wait... then it crashes.

This is what I get:

I have uninstalled... Manually cleaned up ALL references to rFactor2 from the server's registry and re-installed the game twice now.

I don't believe it has anything to do with MODs that are installed because, it crashes on a fresh install (910 lite) with nothing else installed.

Thanks in advance,

Bryan

 

do a search on the drive you have RF2 installed and delete pkginfo.dat & cmpinfo.dat you should be good to go again

Thanks! That was easy enough!

Although, I never found a cmpinfo.dat file.

Thanks! I had this issue for a long time and gave up. Always had to create my vmods on my PC at home and then upload them to my server.

Btw. I had to delete both files, pkginfo.dat and cmpinfo.dat.

 

%USERDATE%\AppData\pkginfo.dat is for vmods (rfmod) and %USERDATE%\AppData\cmpinfo.dat is for components (rfcmp). Sometimes they get corrupt. If you don't have cmpinfo.dat then you probably haven't created a component on this machine before.

 

Thanks Noel,

That is useful information! And, no, I haven't made any components on the server.
