A page or so back, I mentioned that I was getting a 'non-critical core mismatch' message whenever I started up TS3. Well I remembered reading on this board that someone had added .cfg to the end of their resource file (since altering this file re-names it to resource instead resource.cfg) and so I tried this, and guess what? No more 'core mismatch' message.

I don't know if it will stop people's games from shutting down like some have mentioned when getting this message (I never had that problem to begin with, so I can't speak for those who do).

How odd. All I'm after is the February .dbc updates, would someone mind giving me a direct link to them, or uploading them on another site?

ETA: Never mind, they've reappeared again now.

Is anyone else seeing a blank folder when they try to access this link?

Okay, thank you for your help. So far I've only checked out CAS, but everything seems to be there and showing up fine.

Is it normal to get the "Warning! Non-critical core mismatch" message at the loading screen? I clicked ignore and I'm now testing out the game.

I moved framework as well as the mods and resource.cfg - should I not have?

Am I correct in thinking that these files need to be moved from the WA folder to the new stuff pack folder? I moved them from TS3 base game folder to the WA folder when I got the game (and it worked fine), but when I moved them from the WA folder to the stuff pack folder and played the game, something went wrong and I could not load my saved game.

Doesn't matter now, figured it out in the end - the instructions I needed were all over the place, I just needed to find them.

Removed my initial post because I think I may have sussed it. Guess it helped to keep reading through all the instructions and play around with the files to familiarize myself with it all.

For anyone who is still having trouble, I found these posts to be extremely helpful:

And of course, there is the first post of this thread as well. And don't forget, some of the downloads include instructions as well, so check them out also.
