Mint no longer works.

[xxxcccxxx7777]

Mint stopped functioning after the latest modding update. Now, by default, it treats the mods_P.pak file in the Paks folder as a separate mod (which makes sense), and it sets the status to 'sandbox', which we need to avoid. Will there be an update to address this?

There is a workaround that's detailed in #231 (comment)

Adding -disablemodding as a launch option to the game restores functionality.

nice! that works, but reading the ref'd comment they claim its AV thats causing the issue. I don't have AV (besides the built in WinDefender, but no quarantine or actions taken). But launching with that option does work.

do you have mint's folder added to exeptions? In my case my AV kept deleting mint everytime i tried to open it. Doesng that fixed any AV related issue, like years ago.

In my case, I only have Windows Security as the default antivirus. There are no reports of quarantined files and adding Mint or the DRG folders to the list of excluded folders does not seem to have any effect. The -disablemodding launch flag does work although it does disable mods from being listed in the game's Mods tab.

Does this affect all Mint users on the latest patch of the game? If it does and a fix is unlikely, then perhaps it would be worth mentioning this workaround in the README.
