- Modding: Added feature to disable automatic mod disabling when an error is encountered during post-processing. gui.data -> dontDisableModsOnFailedLoad. Please don't change this setting unless you are a mod creator in the middle of tweaking a mod. It will disable automatic recovery meaning you'll be locked out of the game until you manually fix/delete/disable the mod causing the error.
