Planetary annihilation stuck at mounting client mods

I have tried reinstalling, running in admin, and so far nothing has worked. I am using PA classic. Logs below:

Post your dxdiag and some logs:

Please upload full logs.

You can delete those posts.

Delete the posts with partial logs and upload dxdiag and full logs.

did that.

Please post your dxdiag so we can see your specs.

did that.

Take a look through this list:

eg try disabling any antivirus or screen capture software.

Just tried doing that, and also tried preforming a clean boot, both haven't worked.

Could you try going to "C:\Users\gungor\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation"? There should be a directory called "download" there. Can you try deleting (or renaming) that?

tried it, still wont work. it works like normal, then, when it gets to mounting client mods, it stops all progress, and nothing happens. Is there something else i should delete, like clear out the mod folders or something?

Well, you could try some general stuff. Like verifying the game cache in Steam: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335
Of try renaming the whole config directory to start completely fresh. That is, rename "C:\Users\gungor\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation" to "C:\Users\gungor\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation.bak".
Not sure how much that will help though...

btw what does mounting client mods mean? like what is it doing when it says that?

It's a new thing since two updates ago. PA now has community mods built-in. They way mods work is that they live in a separate directory, and when they are mounted, they overrule the default PA files. The community mods itself functions as a mod, I think, although I am not entirely sure about that part.

Community Mods has hooks in the build prior to mods loading.

Could I disable it? Maybe that would fix it?

also i tried those other things, (verifying files and renaming that folder) didn't work.

Can you please post another log after the following:

• delete download folder in your PA data directory
• rename localstore in your PA data directory to localstore-backup
  
• disable anti-virus
• disable firewall
