Popup when Starting Rimworld (Update - Resolved)

[Neros]

Hello

Got this when I updated to the new version:

I tried Uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, which seemed to fix it for a bit. But the error reappeared later on.
There are also no mods currently activated at the moment.

Please try performing a clean reinstall (as you clearly have some mod residue going on there. And a cheeky one as well that's promoting a YT channel). Details on how to perform a clean reinstall here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4805.0

Looks like one of the mods, even when disabled, was misbehaving.. Wonder why it was trying to go to a youtube video o.O

But those steps helped fix the problem

Good to hear a clean reinstall fixed the issue.

I don't think the game was actually trying to go to a youtube video, and the youtube link didn't cause the problems either (the mod leftovers did that). It's just that whoever made that mod sneakily put some free advertising for their youtube channel into the entries that get written in the log file relating to their mod. I don't use mods myself so no idea how common this sot of thing is, but I've never seen that before in a log file, and I've seen a lot of log files, so it's certainly not common (and doing this sort of thing seems a bit below board, or at least so IMO).
