Cannot load saves while using GoS

Toasty

When I try to load any save while I have Gentlemen of Steelport installed all I get is a regular loading screen, then a black screen where all that's visible is my mouse. I have tried using the regular patch and the loose file method of installing but still I cannot load saves or start a new game, but using the original patch files with no other mods loads saves fine. I have all DLCs but the Money Shot, Warrior, and Bloodsucker packs.
 
Have you tried building it with only certain mods installed to try and narrow down the problem?
 
Thank you, it seems to be working now. The three mods that I had to disable were Mission Replay, Extended Vehicle Customization, and Extended Sliders. It also seems to only work in a loose build.
 
You may want to make sure that your .net framework is up to date and installed correctly. I'm wondering if maybe the update asm tool could be bombing out. You can grab the latest version here:
http://www.microsoft.com/net

Also, try this:
Edit Create_Custom_GoS_v1.bat in notepad and add a pause right after the update asm tool finishes updating so it looks like this:

Code: 
IF EXIST "optional_mod_stuff\tmp_workspace\patch_uncompressed\patch_vint_doc_containers.asm_pc" (
tools\Gibbed.SaintsRow3.UpdateASM.exe optional_mod_stuff\tmp_workspace\patch_uncompressed\patch_vint_doc_containers.asm_pc optional_mod_stuff\tmp_workspace\patch_uncompressed\
copy optional_mod_stuff\tmp_workspace\patch_uncompressed\*.* optional_mod_stuff\tmp_workspace\tmp_patch_dump\patch_uncompressed_tmp\ /y
)
 
pause
 
REM Copy in any extra user mods
copy optional_mod_stuff\1-MY_EXTRA_MODS\*.* optional_mod_stuff\tmp_workspace\tmp_patch_dump\patch_compressed_tmp\ /y

This will pause the batch file and you can copy paste everything from your command line window here so I can see what's going on.
 
I made sure my .net framework was updated (It was.) and edited the .bat, this was what came up.

Looks like everything is working the way it should. Can you upload your broken version? Either the patch files or the loose mods archived so I can test it out?
 
I installed your patch files and everything worked perfectly on my end. I tried multiple different saves/characters, and everything loaded correctly with all mods working; replay, wardrobe color changer, all vehicle customization, etc. It has to be a conflict with some other mod you have installed. Make sure that there are no .xtbl .lua .str2_pc and/or .asm_pc files in the root with your exe. You can also move the mod cleanup batch file there (included with the latest Gos) and run it. This will automatically delete files with those extensions for you.
 
I have used the removal .bat every time I try a new setup, also I have learned that what mods do work also work as a patch.
Although I've noticed something, the three mods that I can't get to work all share the same one file: vint_doc_containers.asm_pc. It seems that for me any two mods with this file can't work together (Which means that there must be another core mod with this file, as using mission replay without vehicle customization but all other core mods also doesn't work.) regardless if one mod with the file is in the patch and one is loaded as a loose file, or they're both in the patch or both loaded loose.
On another note, after playing the game for a bit (I was originally starting a new game) I've realized I can load saves, but there are no menus, no hud and if I try to open a menu the game freezes.
 
Once again, there must be a loose str2_pc file or a loose asm_pc file. It's the only thing that could cause a conflict like that. All your symptoms point to that being the cause. Your patch file works perfectly on my system so it's building correctly.

Hmm... You're not running the censored German or Japanese version by any chance?
