Strange, i never had such crash before, i play many different mods and i don't have any problems most of the time (at least no crashes). I guess i'll have to wait or something. Also, i have the most recent version, 1.174, so i don't think that's the issue.
Edit: Just redownloaded the mod, added that hotfix as well and it loaded fine. I guess, it could be some error during downloading? Not sure, but at least it works now.
