My problem is very simple: my CS stopped working and OB crashes when I try to launch it. If I try to open the CS it tells me "Unable to load CTL file", "cannot load the atmosphere model", "cannot load the stars" and "cannot load the clouds"; in that order. Then it just says a problem stopped the program from working and I'm forced to exit the CS.
I've been using the CS for various investigations/personal-use modding for a year or so and nothing like this has happened before. I don't know if it's relevant, but I installed a few mods recently (a week ago) which altered textures and meshes: Koldorn's Cave and Ayleid Textures, Kafei's Rings and Amulet textures, Book Jackets and Operation Optimization. However, I've been able to both play the game and access the CS without problems.
The only thing I can think of is this: I was playing today and my PC abruptly shut down because it over-heated. I had the CS in the background open. When I turned it back on and launched OB, the CS opened and then crashed and so did OB. Any ideas?
