Warning Steam users..

[ProdigyToby]

I'm pretty sure the new update (August 12th 2013) on steam crashes your game if its modded, probably by updating over some modded content your custom decks might require.

[H1ts]

I noticed when I take the .dll file out of the main folder it stops happening, but then you can't use any decks you have modded of course.

[drleg3nd]

guess I need to get skidrow version

[ProdigyToby]

Heres what I did. I restored the folder to its previous state before the update, RAR'd it and then let steam update again, then I just extracted the archive back into the steam magic 2104 folder and surprisingly enough it runs through steam and the mods still work. Then I went into the game properties and turned off automatic updates.

[Rikiaz]

I'm only using Firemind's DLC and it works fine.

[BloodReyvyn]

And thus ends my modding unless someone cracks it, I couldn't figure out why I couldn't test my new deck and spent most of the day trying to find errors that don't exist... lame...

[thefiremind]

First of all, this discussion is going on in way too many topics, so it's really easy to miss something. For your convenience I'm pasting here the link to Rick's topic:
viewtopic.php?f=99&p=128982#p128977
According to what they say, sumomole's mod has the same problem as BloodReyvyn's, but I really have no idea why some mods work and some other ones not, and I can't help you with tests because I'm using 3DM version.
One thing is sure, the culprit for the crashes isn't Rick's DLL, but some (not all) mods, for a reason that is still unknown. Of course if you remove Rick's DLL no mod gets read and you get no crashes.

[sumomole]

I think there is no problem crack file, but if any deck list has a card that can't be found in the game, the game will crash, I have checked my two mods, unfortunately, they have such a mistake, I'm updating.

That's it! The Problem was the Test decklist in your core. I removed it from the wad and the game is not crashing anymore.

[thefiremind]

In case someone doesn't know, there's a very quick way to check all your decks for wrong card filenames: run Riiak's Deck Builder and open its error log file (if there's one) after the program has completely loaded. It doesn't matter if you build your decks manually (like I do), Riiak's Deck Builder is great for spotting errors anyway.

[drleg3nd]

don't know if this help but here is my error log for my game files. if any modder spots there file can update:

Weird, I don't get that error with Vexing Sphinx, but I have been attempting to patch up a lot of errors recently, so hopefully soon it will be fixed.

Got everything running again, it was the empty spaces in the deck I was working on causing it to crash... just ended up filling my empty slots with a swarm of Alloy Myr. lol

[ProdigyToby]

Anyone know what was added with this update? Rather, what was the point of it? It appears to have installed a good chunk of data (500mb if I saw correctly) but I cant see any new content or effects its had on the game.

I haven't run a compare yet, but the 600 MB is probably because it re-downloaded both the DATA_CORE.wad (additional 14 MB) and DATA_DECKS_D14.wad (additional 1.5 KB) files which is the major chunk of the download (together about 598 MB). It also updated the steam_api.dll and DotP_D14.exe files, but those are pretty much opaque to us as we can't really edit them.

Adds support for Chinese, but not include Chinese text, really a stupid update.
I put the 3DM crack files in here, if anyone needs it.
