Application Error

[TheRyeCatcher]

I've only been playing SH5 for about 3 months now. I've never been prompted to patch the game. I had downloaded a bunch of mods along with the enabler and the game has run fine...no CTD or errors. I was reading one of the mod readme files recently and saw that it says you must be patched.

I used the enabler to remove all mods, then ran the GU. The patch appeared to install just fine...same with the Ubisoft launcher. I have not yet tried re-installing any of the mods. When I launch the game, everything looks normal until I get an error that says:

sh5.exe - Application Error
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process ID=0x1628 (5672), Thread ID=0x164c (5708).
Click OK to terminate the application
Click CANCEL to debug the application

Not sure what to do here...or what I've done to cause this. I've tried un-installing and re-installing, but same results. Most of the programming stuff you guys do here is well above my pay grade, but I figured I would ask in case one of you salty guys had some advice.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
