I will try re-installing without that mod and see whether that fixes the issue. I will advise either way so that you know in the event anybody else has similar issues. Last night, after re-installing without WGN Radio, I was able to play two or three battles without crashing, then it crashed again..... where previously it was crashing on every single battle start. Also, prior to that latest reinstall, the crash would disable XVM, this time it did not. What it did do, curiously, was to re-initialize all of my sound volume settings to 100% which has never happened before (I generally turn vehicle sounds, battle music, garage music and a few others way down, and after the crash, they were all at 100%), also, on the very last tab in the settings window ( Battle Feedback?) the tab was highlighted as though I had never opened it... like when these were first introduced.... I have no idea whether any of this is relevant, but, that is what is happening, so I suspect it is related in some way.
