The way I typically play this mod is that I restart with a new party each time I fail. I typically use the same save slot and just overwrite/delete the last party. Since about the 2nd time I did this I've started having an issue that reproduces consistently.

The first time I try running any party through and start the first lvl 1 combat scenario, I get an uncaught exception where it is expecting a restart count file to be in some directory but doesn't find it and the game crashes. If I force exit, restart the game, load the save slot and then run it again (the encounter list appears to regenerate when I do this) the scenario loads without issue. The issue repeats after I again overwrite/delete the slot, populate it with a new party, and then attempt the first scenario of the next run.

As it is mitigateable, this isn't a killing issue but it is irritating and seemed worth reporting.

On a related note, cheers for the mod in general. I hope that at some point you find the time to add lvl 5-8 encounters.
