--io.file_first

Hey there

I just made a simple text mod, edited the export_descr_vnvs_enums, export_descr_character_traits, and text/export_VnVs. I simply added a new trait for testing purposes. I used the --io.file_first command in a .bat file, at the end of the target of the desktop shortcut, and tried by adding:

[io]
file_first = true

To the preferences.cfg. All give me the same result. The first splash screen will come up, and before any of the video card cinematics start or loading screens arise, the game closes and goes back to the desktop.

Any idea why or how to fix this?

Did you get an error message, even if it is unspecified?
If so, it is possible you did not delete the descr_geography_new files in the Data folder.

No, there is no error message. And I made sure I deleted the descr_geography_new files.
