I had very good luck with version 23, but toward the endgame I fell victim to the stutter bug, despite having a fairly upper-end processor. For a decade-old game, that ain't fun. So when version 24 came out that included a fix, I was looking to upgrade.
For unrelated reasons, I had to do a full reinstall of my game rather than just replacing the related files. For troubleshooting purposes, though, this should be easier, since everything is brand new and freshly installed, since nothing I tweaked in-game can be responsible. Likewise, all but about 2-3 mods that I installed new here were present when I had version 23.
The problem is, simply, ToBEx will not load when I activate the game. Neither when I click on BGMain.exe or on TobExLoader.exe. I know it doesn't run in the background; the secondary window doesn't come up and there is no separate ToBEx process running in the windows task manager. In both BGMain and TobExLoader, it goes straight to the main game. I tested it by trying to start a new game since the extended kit scroll bars is the quickest way to tell if ToBEx is working, but in every case the game runs like the vanilla version.
I've included my WeiDU file and I'm pretty used to troubleshooting different mods, but I'm pretty lost on how to fix problems on something like ToBEx, so any help you can offer would be appreciated.
