Isn't it usually inconsistent, though? It was consistently crashing for me, over 30 times and regardless of caches. And I found a definite on/off switch for my case in the 4x slider option. I don't see why that would have changed between releases though, in the mod or in the config tool.

I'm not saying it's anyone else's problem, but it does appear to be my problem.

Edit: I take it back. That wasn't the problem. Whatever it was, what fixed it was actually running it without the aweconf file and then running it with the aweconf file. ...Whatever. It's running now.

Right now, completely reliably, the newest version of AwesomeMod crashes my game on the second ray of the loading screen. Removal of AwesomeMod results in a successful load. However.. it's not AwesomeMod, it's my aweconf file, which I updated along with the mod. Removal of that also lets the game load. I'm about to make another aweconf package using the configuration tool and see if just remaking it works. My custom options were turning the good sliders on and turning off the anti-age-up-swarm.

Edit2: Removed invalid conclusion.
