For what it's worth, I tried another game with everything turned off and the game still crashed on the battle loading screen. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, no mods, and it's back to working fine.
I'm using only Aslain's mods, and it's impossible to play a game at all until we can get an answer on which one is causing the conflict. I guess I can keep randomly trying to remove various options, but meanwhile my teams get stuck with a dead placeholder since I can't contribute during the match.
I made a few changes, just started another game and had the same issue (4th battle in a row hangs at battle loading screen). Attached are my updated files.

Since the update, I've tried 3 different times to start a battle. The screen hangs after starting the battle and I never get the map to load or am able to join the game. I was hoping the recent updates to white skin, etc. would fix this but still not working with the latest updates.
Something messed up with my settings, and now it shows everyone's personal rating rather than WN8. There used to be a box to specify WN8 in the mod pack setup, but not seeing it any more. Can someone point me in the right direction?
I tried reinstalling several times. Thought it might have been fixed since last 5 games worked, but it just happened again. I'm not playing again until we know what is causing this, totally destroys your game.
