Simple Mod Framework

my mod manager keeps closing when i open it even as administrator

Did you install the framework using the installer EXE?

Latest version of both framework and game (EGS version), even if I’ve disabled all mods in the list, applying the empty list causes my game to crash when trying to load into Hitman 3 levels, 1 and 2 work fine.

Have you verified this doesn’t occur when the framework hasn’t touched the install? (i.e. by verifying your game files and running the game)

Yes, only happens after I’ve run SMF, loading bar goes up ~1/3 and then game freezes, and in a few seconds it ctds

After running SMF, is there a chunk0patch300.rpkg in Runtime?

Yes, there is chunk0patch300

How large is the file?

Explorer is saying it’s 35 349 KB

This is with no mods deployed?

Oh, no, I’ll get size now with no mods deployed.

Okay, no mods (guaranteed so), no patch300 file. I had a straggling mod there.

And the game crashes in this state only when loading a Hitman 3 level?

Yes, always so too, never does it get past that one certain spot it seems

Could you send your packagedefinition file from Runtime and your thumbs.dat file from Retail?

How would you like them, over sharing site or somewhere else? (Can’t post here directly)

Doesn’t really matter; Wormhole works

Hmm. Those are identical to mine, and my game functions normally. The framework only ever touches those two files and the chunkXpatch300 files, so if they’re identical I can’t see how this problem is happening.

I’m very confused myself too. And as always, a verify will fix the issue, until I go and run even an empty SMF again
