Wooobat: I hope they update the game to the latest version. Honestly disappointing they didn't make sure it worked beforehand.
SCPM: I think I have a solution. I took the script files that were missing and packed them into this zip file:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/bc99yi3gz5k9qtr/scripts.zip/file Extract this folder into your install directory/resources folder, so that you have a scripts sub-folder with the lua files in that directory. When you start the game, make sure mods are enabled, then close the program and restart (or else it will crash during play), or enable modding by editing the options.ini file. I've tested this and it works with a few mods, let me know if you have any problems.
This almost works but I'm trying to use the "Item descriptions" mod and no matter what combination of enabling mods and restarting, it either doesn't work until I recheck the mod then start a new game, at which point the game will crash if I pause or it just doesn't work when I enable mods, close out, restart the game and start a new game. I've tried messing with the options and config files to no avail.
