Fresh Install

a clean install is never a bad thing but often a clean install of jsgme is all that is needed.

if you have been changing mods around then its a good idea at least every now and then to remove the "mods" folder from the game and then replace the mods in it one by one. if you arent changing mods around or anything then its not needed but its a good cleanup thing like anti-spyware or defragging tools.

what you are doing by this is getting rid of the "hidden" backup and saved files there and any possible corruptions they have.

when i do it i move it to the desktop then move the mods back into it but one at a time since if you do a "move all" thing you move the corrupted backup files too which defeats the whole purpose.

corrupted files arent removed when you uninstall so after you uninstall you have to open the program files and delete the leftover files there. you will lose your campaign when you uninstall so in order to try to save it, first remove or rename the folder in documents so its not lost, then after reinstalling copy and paste your saved files and your campaign should still be there but ... if something has changed in the game such as you fixed what was "wonky" then the saved game might be corrupted now since the files are different. but there is a chance it will be ok, good luck with it.


this time make a copy of the stock unmodded fresh install "data" folder, then when you need to do this again all you have to do is delete the data folder you have and replace it with the backup copy. its a whole lot faster and easier then reinstalling the whole game and it replaces all the files that could ever be corrupted by mods
