Blank menu

[﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽﷽]

I had several mods on a save, and went "God I could really use a mod for this" and installed a few more.
Now when loading rimworld the main menu is completely blank, just the planet. no buttons, title or our ever graceful Tynan Sylvester's name

Remove them and re add one at a time.

There arises the problem amigo. I cannot remove them. I have no menu

[Conflagration]

Just started having the same issue. Very weird.

Ahh my bad. I misread that before. You can remove the mods in the folder manually and it should revert. Look up how to load a rimworld mod manually for the location.

[brian7772]

Go to your RimWorld download location;
Windows:
Drag and drop the extracted ModName folder into your RimWorld***Win/Mods/ folder (not in Core);
Make sure not to "double extract" your mod, e.g. RimWorld***Win/Mods/Modfolder/Modfolder, when extracting your mod
Mac:
Right-click the RimWorld application and show package contents;
For Steam users, the directory is : cd Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld
Drag and drop the ZIP archive's ModName folder into your Mods folder (not in Core) in the application package;
Linux:
Unpack archive into the Mods folder ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Rimworld/Mods;
Start up your game;
Click the Mods button and activate your mods.
Some mods require a fresh world generation to work.

Here's how I solved blank main menu in RimWorld:
1. Go to "SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content"
2. In here delete the folder that belongs to RimWorld. In my case it's the folder called "294100"
3. Start Rimworld. Here you'll get some error messages that mod files were missing, but the menu will be back. Go into mods, and see that no mods remain.
4. Save empty modlist and exit rimworld again.
5. Verify the integrity of RimWorld. It'll say no files were missing, but also start downloading the missing mods.

I've done this multiple times, and saved the working modlists using the ModManager mod.

Or you could reset your modlist by deleting the ModsConfig.xml file found here > %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\Config

Necroing this because I've never been soo ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ frustrated from trying to play a game, I have this issue as well.

My issue however only happens after selecting a button whether it be to play the game, open mod menu, options and etc with the only working button being the button to quit and dev quicktest. I can still technically play the game but I cannot load anymore mod in or out.

I also have an unrelated issue where my game would freeze after about 2-5 minutes of playtime and cause unity to crash some minutes afterwards, New PC with AMD driver have this issue whilst my old laptop with Nvidia works fine (aside from horrible lag).

You've run into an issue with one or mods and they've damaged your game files to the point where you will need to manually remove files from your rimworld folder before performing a fresh install of the game. Follow the instructions above and delete the modsconfig.xml file, and then start to unsubscribe from mods.

At least one of your mods is misbehaving. Outdated mods are the prime suspect, but frankly it could be any of them. The more invasive a mod is, the more likely it is to break things, but even innocuous cosmetic mods can cause problems.

For me, iv'e successfully fixed the main menu issue but the screen freezing midgame whilst everything else still running is still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ my game. I've disabled enhanced sync on my AMD yet this ♥♥♥♥ still persist, I'm really close of just giving up to just uninstall and leave a bad review. Game isn't fun unmodded and considering that this happen on game wise as I can still go to windows and shut it down via steam i doubt playing vanilla will be smooth.

Sounds like hardware is struggling. Which happens with the excessive use of mods. Could also be an autosave issue which I had too at one point. Overall suggestion is to NOT bload up your game so much with mods. Does one really need 20 different dining tables to choose from?

There's this collection that I'd recommend to anyone with quality of life mods which greatly increases the overall experiences:

Then add some of the infamous content mods like medieval overhaul and top it off with some vanilla extended content.

Please tell me more about this "Rimpy" that most people have been talking about and using so that i can download it as I'm really desperate just to be able to spend 12 hours ingame like how I used to. I just want to play the game without the fear of losing hours of progress or cinematic moments because of this bs.
