Hello. I recently downloaded the game, and tried to, on a fresh install, run "The Stars Beyond". It downloads the files successfully, as far as I can tell, but, in the mod collection tab, an error message appears:

Code: Select all

TSB_Extension.tdb: Line(54): Unable to find library: 00a00000
Moreover, restarting the game causes it to try to download everything over again. Letting it do this does not change the error message.

Looking at the debug.log file, I find the following:

Code: Select all

Is this a known issue? Happy to provide any additional information, as desired. My setup should be fairly conventional, I just extracted the .zip and logged in.

[For future reference, you can post this in the TSB thread directly]

You only downloaded the zip version, without grabbing the multiverse version too, right? That probably caused this issue, since we almost certainly forgot to add human space vol2 to the zip folder due to an issue with transdata allowing that to slip by... As a workaround until the next patch, you should be able to just add the multiverse version to your collection for free and it should patch the missing file.

I downloaded the .zip of Transcendence (not the mod, apologies if that was ambiguous), and downloaded TSB by adding it to my account's mod collection on Multiverse, meaning the game (tried) to download the files automatically.

HumanSpaceVol02 wasn't in my collection, so I added it via Multiverse. I gather that the problem was that the requirements file of TSB didn't have it (it downloaded the other library mods successfully), though I could be wrong.

Thats very strange, you shouldnt need to manually add it. I can check the settings but it should be treated as a library, and libraries cant normally be added to a collection directly

Ok I found the issue, its a config problem w/ the library on multiverse but I'll need george's help to fix it
