Is it possible that one of the mods you’re using hasn’t properly loaded after one of the latest updates? 🤔 Or maybe one was created with the older Modkit version?

the ones i showed in the picture with the mod symbol net to it, the round picture frame, is the one that isn’t showing, however it was showing before. I just finished playing and it showed up in game even after i got those error warning. It’s a modkit mod the circular picture frame one is my concern.

I noticed a small optimization issue when playing with a larger collection of mods:

- **The Issue:** If I click “Continue” immediately after launching the game, I often get this error message, too. (Loading error, DLC or Mod mismatch)
- **The Workaround:** If I wait 1–2 minutes in the main menu or browse the Mod Store first, the save game loads perfectly most of the time. \*\*
- **The Cause:** It seems the game tries to load the save file before the engine has fully finished registering and caching all local mod files in the background.
- **Suggestion for Devs:** Please implement a small loading indicator or a force-check that ensures all mods are fully initialized in the RAM/VRAM before allowing the player to hit the “Continue” button. This would prevent sporadic crashes for mod users.

PS: I do not get the error message if I only close it to lobby and immediately resume/load the save again. Only if I exit the game and start it and then load the savegame

\*\* Tested it yesterday for many times (and with doubled number of mods) → When I wait intentionally ~2 min (after game start) before loading, then I do NOT get the Error Message → It must be a loading/cache delay in background with the mods  
 → The time it needs is not important …means the game should keep its necessary time. But it would be very nice if there could be a loading info/bar or similar, where the player can see: “ok, it is not ready yet” or “ah. everything is ready”
