      So I am suddenly getting loads of messages saying "An unexpected error kept the client from loading the following mod:" and then a list of almost all my UI mods (plus a couple of AI mods like M28, AI-uveso etc). Anyone else seeing this? Game will be pretty much unplayable for me since Ive got so used to my UI mods over the years.

        Can you share logs, screenshots or other info to help the developers understand the situation better?

          I partially found the cause. I looked in the client log and found it was reporting corrupt mods. In each of the affected mod folders the mod_info.lua files had been renamed and the initial part of the file name appended with my computer name (so mod_info-COMPUTERNAME.lua). Why I'm not sure. It's only happened in my mods folder and nowhere else on my system. I back stuff up so restored from a backup and it's fine. No indication that it's a virus either so I'm suspecting an issue with backup software, one drive (which also copies my faf mods folder through a hard link) or the client itself. If anyone else has a clue I'd be interested to know.
