Options Crash

[LitRPGenius]

My game crashes when I press the options, stats, or info menu. I have 2 mods loaded that worked fine before, but I can't uninstall them to check if they are the problem because I can't access the options menu. Does anyone have anything that can help?

you should be able to uninstall the mods by unsubscribing from their workshop pages, right?

Yes, but I had a mod still on my list today after unsubscribing from it several days ago and the only way to get rid of it was through the ingame mod management menu. No idea if that was an issue with the mod, the game or Steam.

I had the same issue and was able to fix it like this, hopefully this helps:

1. find and open your cookie clicker installation folder (if cookie clicker is installed, right click it in your library > manage > browse local files)
   
2. once you're in your cookie clicker folder, navigate to this subfolder:

   .\resources\app\mods\workshop\

3. delete any/all files in that folder for a clean wipe once you're unsubscribed from the mods via steam, close and reopen and you should be good

I'd guess the mods stay through an uninstall/being unsubbed from etc to preserve user settings but it does make it a lot more difficult to remove them when they cause issues

you can also just delete one mod in step three if you've only recently encountered the issue, but for OP's sake just delete everything in there and you should be good to go after a reload if you're still unsubbed from whichever mod broke it for you (in my case it was a high-res mod)
