Fog Islands Unknown Crash

[Earndil]

Passing into the Fog Islands with a group crashes the game when approaching a Fogmen Deathyard. Reloaded game numerous times and attempted to move towards, away, or stay stationary, but regardless of my own action taken something crashes the game.

Have previous autosaves, but re-approaching the Fog Islands in the same spot crashes the game inexplicably.

Attempted to SHIFT+F12 and use the Fix Things button, fixed some issues in regards to pathing and a duplicated building, but crashes persist when approaching Fog Islands.

Have been enjoying Kenshi since its release, but obviously still needs some work done in terms of bugs and stability.

Thank you,

I have an update, the problem is still not fixed, but I have tried more things in the meantime.

I have fully imported a saved game to no avail, it continues to crash at roughly the same area after attempting to load more of the Fog Islands.

I have disabled all of my mods in an effort to fix it, but this does not solve the issue as it continues to crash in the same spot.

Approaching with different characters fixes nothing, crashes persist.

I appear to be able to explore the map almost freely except on the approach to Mongrel.

Again, any insight from anyone would be much appreciated, thank you.

Looks like a corrupt texture file - Try validating the game cache, or reinstall if that doesn't work.

I have verified the cache, and it reacquired 3 files. Tested again afterwards and the crash happened again, same place, after loading more of the fog islands.

Reinstalled, and tested again, crash persists.

New crash log, as well as the one I received after verifying the cache.

Ah, seems I didn't check that the file it is complaining about was in the base game or not.
The corrupt file is platedcargopantsColor.dds (see kenshi_info.log). I don't know which mod it is from.

[Earndil]

Excellent, Thank you very much for the insight, it was a mod for Colored Armor that was disabled and generating the error.

It looks like it was attempting to load the mesh for the colored armor but was lacking the file, so it was creating an exception instead of removing the armor piece altogether.

Thank you again for your help.
