Update: I dug through the game files and found some files that should be there as a result from prior modding, especially in the bin folder in the game installation directory. The game now loads to a main menu. This post can be flagged as resolved.

Hi, can you be more specific ? I have the same problem and I just can't find the solution.

Sure thing.

I had some leftover files in the bin folder and subfolders that I recognised as modded files, but could not find all of them. What I ended up doing was deleting the entire bin folder, and then used steam to verify the file integrity of the game. The bin folder was then downloaded again through steam (only about 100mb or so iirc) and the game worked fine afterwards.
