[Warning Loop] Stuck on “Mods have been disabled” screen after removing all mods

Hello Klei team,

Whenever I launch Don’t Starve Together (build 665003, Steam, 64-bit) I get the yellow “Warning – Your game has recently crashed because of a mod conflict” window.
Clicking “Disable Mods” or “OK” simply restarts the client and the same Warning appears again, so I can never reach the main menu.

What I have already tried

1. Removed every mod

   • Unsubscribed all items in Steam Workshop

   • Deleted these folders manually:

     • …\steamapps\workshop\content\322330\*

     • …\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\mods\*

     • Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\mods\*

2. Renamed Documents\Klei to force the game to create a completely fresh profile.

3. Verified game files (0 files replaced) and fully re-installed DST.

4. Launch options tested: -disablemods, -force-d3d11, -force-opengl.

5. Disabled overlays (Discord, GeForce Experience) and Windows “Controlled Folder Access”.

6. Re-installed VC++ 2015-2022 (x64) and tried an older NVIDIA driver (551.86).

Despite all this, the Warning window still appears, and the latest client_log.txt shows that the game tries to load workshop folders such as workshop-2391246365, which no longer exist anywhere on disk:

Request

Could you advise how to fully clear any hidden mod references or diagnose why the Warning loop persists?
I have attached the fresh client_log.txt and DxDiag report.

Thank you very much for your help!
