I'm frankly not sure what to make of the issues we see in that output log. This one:

UserSettings [ERROR] Google.Protobuf.InvalidProtocolBufferException: Protocol message contained an invalid tag (zero).
at Google.Protobuf.CodedInputStream.ReadTag () [0x0011b] in <f9cf94bbbfb041d0abe88cee5be00fc7>:0

normally means the game will not start at all, and to get past it you need to go to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Harebrained Schemes\BATTLETECH\ and delete the profiles.dat file . You might try doing that anyway, or at least renaming it.

Then just after the mods load we see lots of these:

Save.Core.SaveSystem [ERROR] invalid handle

Followed by:

UserSettings [ERROR] Unable to use existing cloud settings from save managers

Anyway lets see what deleting the profile does.

I found the issue. There is a conflict with OneDrive in windows 10. Disabling OneDrive solved the problem
