You appear to have several of the following lines referencing many different 'mechs. It's possible that the game is looking for those 'mechs but can't find them. I would check to to make sure any mods in use are properly set up to load the units into the game.


Data.DataManager.ContainedLoadRequest [ERROR] ManifestEntry is null for [mechdef_warhawk_A] [MechDef] - resourceIds are case sensitive, so be sure to check that too

which in the case of this particular line it's immediately followed by

EncounterLogic [ERROR] UnitSpawnPoint1 (74c85f6a-1050-4bfc-b6bc-e693224691fc) - MechDef [mechdef_warhawk_A] not previously requested. Aborting unit spawn.

Thank you for the information. I did a search for mechdef_warhawk_A both as a filename (*warhawk*) and using grep on all the files in the \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH and nothing shows up.

In the old days I would just delete the cache and start everything up again.
