GWX 1.02 issues...

[Lightning61]

This may be related to JSGME, GWX, or something modified of which I'm totally un-aware.
When attempting to install 1.02 After rollback of commander, ALL mods listed in jsgme disabled, I'm getting the message that I still have mods enabled via jsgme.

I hope a NON-installer version of this patch will be available so that I can simply over-write existing files and attempt to continue my current career without the dreaded full re-install.
Thanks for any info, and thanks for all of the excellent mods to this killer sim!

Simple answer just copy your mods folder with all your mods in it somewhere save and rename the theMODS folder remain in the installation just delete all mods in it.
Make sure you roll back commander then make sure all mods are dectivated via JSGME.

Then install new patch
Then copy all mods in your copy of your all mods folder into the new one problem sovled.

Had the same thing happen to me in testing and this sorted it out.

After I copied the mods folder to another location, I deleted all mods through jsgme, which didn't fix the issue.
I then looked in the mods folder and the only thing remaining was the "backups" folder.
After deleting this the patch installed without error.
Thanks for the tip Mr. Chris!

Still no go!
Looks like something is totally screwed in my install, because now I can't even run a single mission.
This will totally suck losing my latest career which was my best to date!
I'll never install any patches or mods again while mid-career.

HMM, I just disabled the Weserebung mod, which I had cross checked the english names.cfg for missing entries with 1.02 before re-enabling, and I'm now back in my career.
I did enter the River Class freighter and Queen Mary in both .cfg files, so I don't get it?
Maybe someone with better working knowledge of the files can figure this one out?

I will still hold myself to my above statements, as I don't like the idea of having to start over again.

Lightning61,
The is no need to lose your career even if you have to do a complete uninstall then a reinstall just make sure that you rename the SH3 file in My documents then when you have reinstalled just drop the info in the saved oned over the new one

Yes. Here's the thing. Whilst it is very easy to simply delete a folder and make the installer happy, this is just a placebo.

You see, the installer stopped for a REASON. It stopped to SAVE you pain LATER. It found backup files under the MODS\!BACKUP folder. This means that there ARE modded files in your installation that were put there by JSGME. If you are saying that there are no mods installed, then my guess is at sometime you manually deleted a mod whilst it was still enabled.

Now, by deleting the !BACKUP folder to get the installer to work, all you are doing is putting off the inevitable, for most likely those files that are still installed in the game will conflict with GWX 1.02 and cause you even more frustrating CTDs.

The moral of the story, listen to the installer, for it is your friend. If it tells you something is wrong, investigate and resolve, don't bandaid.
