Having a REALLY weird issue with DLC

[Sel Und Irae]

Hi all, I originally skipped biotech have every DLC except it for a long time and finally caved in, Bought it and now my game won't fully launch to main menu.

I thought maybe it was a file issue so i fully cleansed Rimworld from device so it'd be a factory install.

Same issue, Thought maybe somehow mod information survived but nope.

Finally, I unticked Biotech from my DLC in properties . . It's working 100% normally again.

Reticked Biotech? You guessed it . . BLACK SCREEN

Anyone got any ideas? Kinda annoyed at this point, Zero mods, Factory fresh install.

Never mind, Never thought i'd have to manually sort DLC :V

Issue was DLC load order in "Mods" no other game does this and have never had this issue with Rimworld before but apparently it makes or breaks the game with Biotech <_<

With your above solution,
When modding RimWorld there is a load before order which determines the order in which the game tries to load the mods/DLCs, and that can have anywhere from no to severe impact on the game.
In the mod window there is a button that automatically orders the mods and DLCs based on the order they need to be loaded in, so if you use that button you shouldn't run into this issue in the future.

Yeah, It just never clicked in to me that i'd have to manually sort DLC. I was checking mod folder to show it was empty and saw red boxes.

You reordered the DLC from the default then, because the default load order works fine.
