So, apparently, I'm not the brightest bulb in the box. I patched my game, and now I can play again. Why this bright idea never dawned on me before is beyond me, although I'm too delirious with happiness right now to really care. If anyone else is still having this problem, try patching the game and updating to the latest version of AwesomeMod.

This didn't help; my game is still crashing.

I'm playing the base game without WA, and I have no mods or custom content installed other than AwesomeMod. Ever since installing the latest version of AwesomeMod, my game crashes to desktop immediatly after the intro. Without AM, I can start up the game and play it without crashing, but once I put it back in, my game crashes again. I tried running it with my configuration, the standard configuration, EA Story Mode, and AM Story Mode, but nothing changed. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, to no avail. I know that AM is the issue here, but I hate playing without it.
