I am working on helping around here. The 9.7 update has created issues since the installer places files in ./res_mods/0.9.6 and there is no ../res_mods/0.9.7
This being said, I created a symbolic link and the game started, but all my mods, except the crew voice mode don't work.
The XVM is broken, minimap, and everything else seems to be OOC. So I have had to reload the stock game and see what we can do to get all the developers of the mods to accommodate the latest codebase changes.
Sincerely
