Error on screen at start up of game?

[billb52]

When I start up the game (steam) I get the following message at the top of the screen:-

warning! [string "ModSystem.lua"]:0: File not found: mod_assets/dungeon_manifest.bin

The game still seems to run OK, I clear the error through the console, also when I try to run the editor it crashes and I have to
re-run it again then it's OK? not sure if it is a common problem.. Any ideas would be appreciated.

PS I am running with Windows 10 Pro and AMD Radeon HD7970 graphics card with latest drivers.

That sounds like a damaged installation or a damaged custom dungeon to me. Let Steam check the game installation to repair any damaged game files.

Hi Dr Disaster thx for your reply, I re-installed grimrock 2 and ran it, worked OK. I enabled the console and assigned the
console key to 115 (F4) and then ran the game and again I had the same error, I tried a different key 119 (F8) still the same!
So by enabling the console = true gives me this error....now flummoxed!!

Do you have any custom dungeons (downloaded or self-made) in the games "Dungeons" folder?

Hi Dr Disaster, I Have many downloaded mods also some I have made myself, how would that make the error?

[Dr.Disaster]

How? Well the error messages complains about a missing file "mod_assets/dungeon_manifest.bin". As far as i know the folder "mod_assets" is only used in custom dungeons and with the game itself re-installed without change that's the next place to look.
