Game crashes on start, reboot couldnt fix, nor the experimental Build

[Naschbagel]

So I just bought your game and downloaded the windows file for the 1.12.5 Version and installed it. After the installation it started and I typed in my Login Informations on the screen. Then the game crashed. I tried to reboot my system, reinstall the whole game and even using the 1.12.6-rc.1. Always the same crash with the exception I can't even get past the "Checking for Mods" in the Loading Screen.

See below the error message.

Pls help :q

The GitHub Issuetracker has a workaround:

https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/407

 

@PrinceOfStrings workaround is functional

Some packages are missing mainmenu9.png to mainmenu11.png, causing this problem.

Hey, i had the same problem. When i saw your post a quick fix came in mind and the game started again!!

I just copied one of the mainmenu*.pngs and renamed the copies mainmenu9, mainmenu10 and mainmenu11 since the original ones were in fact missing. Started VS and is running just fine!
Peace

just want to add that you can find this folder in your vintagestory installation directory under "assets\game\textures\gui\backgrounds"
