so as title says...been having some weirdness with modtek that i have not experienced before with this frequency.

i am used to and expect having to reinject btml and reinstall modtek whenever there is an update to battletech.

however since updating to modtek 5.0 every time i make a change to my mods modtek wont load them.
when you start game it immediately says game now loading and fades into hbs logo.
deleting modtek folder solves issue and subsequent restart is all good.

now i am running 50+ mods at the moment and almost daily i am adding new ones, updating or removing old ones or just tweaking them.
is this a bug in modtek or have i maybe reached the upper limits of how many mods we can run?
i ask that cuz in civ 5 i found that 300 mods was about all civ 5 could take before it became unstable.

or is it possible i am unique in this occurrence?
 
I can't say I've noticed any weird freezing or errors - there was one issue when I first switched over, and I deleted the .modtek folder, ModTek.dll and modtekassetbundle file - the replaced with a new d/l - and I haven't had an issue since.

Probably just jinxed myself....

What does the modtek.log file (in the .modtek folder) say?

Though, I'd suggest you go to the github site and report it to mpstark there - he is a really nice guy ;)
 
i plan on doing that.
just wanted to check and see if it was just me or not.
ill check the log next time it happens and include that on github
