Then, let's go to the FAF github repository to find a key file:
https://github.com/FAForever/fa/blob/develop/lua/defaultexplosions.lua
Download it and compare it to rks_explosions\hook\lua\defaultexplosions.lua;
We can see that the contents of the function “CreateScalableUnitExplosion” have changed considerably. That is why the mod doesn't work properly.
A simple solution is to overwrite the defaultexplosions.lua file in the mod with the same file in FAF, and then using your text editor, modify"function CreateScalableUnitExplosion "to the following form:
function CreateScalableUnitExplosion(unit, debrisMultiplier, circularDebris)
debrisMultiplier = debrisMultiplier or 1
circularDebris = circularDebris or false
