ONI will not restart after changing mods

same here!

Quote

You will be returned to the mods list, but the color of the selected mods will become increasingly red, indicating a crash.

That means that the mods have crashed, and the game has disabled them as a result. 

Recently they updated the .NET Framework to 4.0:

Hello friends!

In the most recent patch, we upgraded the version of Unity that the game is running on, which resulted in the .net runtime being upgraded as well.

The most acute result of this is that any mod solutions will have to be updated to target the 4.0 framework. (In Visual Studio, this is in the project properties, Application > Target Framework.) This will fix compilation issues caused by the patch.

So now all mods have to be updated to the same .NET Framework in order to function again.

No, this is not due to mods. I can reproduce this with no mods active (except the Enable All Mods mod, which works fine) simply by clicking on any "Restart" button in the game. 

The snippet of log I posted explicitly indicates the game is not finding the Restarter, likely due to an issue interpreting the space in the "Application Support" directory name, as I mentioned. I've seen this exact issue in the Mac OS X console if I were to type:

open /Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/OxygenNotIncluded/OxygenNotIncluded.app/Contents/MacOS/OxygenNotIncluded.app/Contents/MacOS/Restarter

In console, the space needs to be escaped, like so:

open /Users/xxxx/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/OxygenNotIncluded/OxygenNotIncluded.app/Contents/MacOS/OxygenNotIncluded.app/Contents/MacOS/Restarter

Or the whole string needs to be quoted:

open "/Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/OxygenNotIncluded/OxygenNotIncluded.app/Contents/MacOS/OxygenNotIncluded.app/Contents/MacOS/Restarter"

The Restarter executable is part of the official ONI binary, and I have confirmed it exists; it just isn't being found, and since ONI interprets any crash with mods active as a mod crash, it increments the mod crash counters and disables all mods again.

I've been having the same problem the last few weeks. Restart buttons are not respected, but manually quitting and reloading seems to work.

This also occurs on the preview branch. Remembering not to click restart is a little interesting when you're trying to figure out which mods have broken against the upcoming release. 

I am also having this issue, where clicking the "restart" button in the game causes a crash.

You'll notice that the files it is looking for do not exist at the path specified in the log. There is some weird recursion going on in the paths where it is looking for a nested OxygenNotIncluded.app directory.

/Users/asnyder/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/OxygenNotIncluded/OxygenNotIncluded.app/Contents/MacOS/OxygenNotIncluded.app/Contents/MacOS/Restarter

I found a workaround for MacOS users if this is bothering anyone.

1. Open Terminal

2. Run the following command

ln -s "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/OxygenNotIncluded/OxygenNotIncluded.app" "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/OxygenNotIncluded/OxygenNotIncluded.app/Contents/MacOS/OxygenNotIncluded.app"

After running this, you should be able to click that in-game restart button and have mods enabled the next time you start the game.

This is still happening on Vanilla and DLC, 11 months after the bug was posted. Can we please just fix the reference to the `restarter` app?

Similar error found on Arch Linux with KDE:

Any ideas?

[Edit]
Funny enough, running the game with Proton 6.3-8, the game restarts just fine!

Steps for enabling Proton:
ONI Preferences > Compatibility > [enable 'Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool'] > [select 'Proton 6.3-8']

This bug still exists.

Changed Status to Fixed

There was an issue that was causing the restarter to sometimes not be shipped with the game.
