I get a crash to desktop error (C2D), with the error message: "unable to open XML stream"

No idea why this is happening; the xml files are right there, nothing changed except my computer monitor, after I bought a new one because the old LCD one fell & isn't working correctly anymore, and so I went from a pair of 4:3's (LCD 19", CRT 17" @ each 1280x1024) to a single (23" @ 1900x1080) widescreen monitor. I mean, nothing should be happening, considering that the game doesn't even store the screen resolution from game-game, so ... this shouldn't ever appear.

Hmmm, it even happens on my netbook, where nothing changed...

Seems to be an error with one of my extensions, likely in TSB, however I never changed any files since my last test, yet it's.... still not working.

That error is usually a "file not found" error (unfortunately, it doesn't seem to tell you what file...)

In 1.03 I changed some of the extension loading code. Try 1.01 on the same machine and see if that makes a difference (you'll have to revert Transcendence.tdb also).

Ok, so 1.01 seems to read the files at least; I get an "unknown element type <modules>"; I think that the missing file may be one specified there. Pretty sure that list matches up though.

Do you have any modules that also load modules? There could be a bug in that code.
