Exception on save after adding the mod (ChesedNeb)
After adding this mod to a modded save, I've been getting this error after 5-10 minutes of play, another 5-10 minutes after getting this error my game crashes. I've tried removing your mod but somehow the problem persists and now I can't play rimworld without eventually getting hit by this error and the follow up crash.

exception in GetVersionFromManifestFile line System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at Madeline.ModMismatchFormatter.MetaHeaderUtility.GetVersionFromManifestFile (Verse.ModContentPack pack) [0x00046] in <b88adc00295b45b8b1c53b1dfa364864>:0 UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace () (wrapper dynamic-method) Verse.Log:Verse.Log.Error_Patch5 (string) Madeline.ModMismatchFormatter.MetaHeaderUtility:GetVersionFromManifestFile (Verse.ModContentPack) Madeline.ModMismatchFormatter.MetaHeaderUtility:UpdateModVersionMetaHeader () ModMisMatchWindowPatch.HarmonyPatches:Postfix_SaveGame () (wrapper dynamic-method) Verse.GameDataSaveLoader:Verse.GameDataSaveLoader.SaveGame_Patch6 (string) (wrapper dynamic-method) RimWorld.Autosaver:RimWorld.Autosaver.DoAutosave_Patch1 (RimWorld.Autosaver) Verse.LongEventHandler:UpdateCurrentSynchronousEvent (bool&) Verse.LongEventHandler:LongEventsUpdate (bool&) (wrapper dynamic-method) Verse.Root:Verse.Root.Update_Patch1 (Verse.Root) Verse.Root_Play:Update ()

Hmm looking at the stacktrace I cannot see any anything todo with my mod tbh.

What other mods do you use?
Did you install other mods in parallel?

My mod does not add data to a safegame, only to the games config file, but if the mod is removed this config just goes dormant til the end of time and should not be able to cause any issues ...

I did add two other mods along with yours, TraderGen and Trader options. At first I did not suspect the other two as being at fault since only your mod makes use of a manifest.xml, although it seems I could be mistaken here considering your response.

A point I want to elaborate on. Even with your mod, and the other two mods removed, the error and the subsequent crash still occurs, even when I load up a save before I added the three mods.

It's looking like to me that some file that is used when loading up any modded save might be corrupted. Do you have any ideas on how I can go about fixing this issue?

Got a partial lead on whats causing this issue. I'm convinced that it's not your mod at fault. It seems that by great misfortune I got hit by a one of a kind, game bricking bug that is somehow caused by Better ModMismatch Window. I'm going to hope and see if the mod author is still around to respond to this when I reach out them.

Regardless, thanks for taking the time to address this.

Ahh ok I see ... this is the mod the stacktrace originated from, but this must not necessarily mean that this one was the issue. Anyways, thanks for the update. Keep me posted if you find the rootcause if you like.

Glad to hear that its not an issue with my mod on one hand, but also hope that you can recover your savegame soon! :)

Wish you best of luck ...
