Played yesterday just fine, but today I have been getting this message:

Serialization Error: Action Needed  
Corrupt data found, please verify your install

I didnt change or modify anything, so is it related to the new expansion? I installed it to see if that was the issue, but I still get it. Reinistalled the game as well, no fix.

Can anyone tell me what this is and if they have hadit too?

Hey there,

Are you using mods? If so, see this thread:

If the issue persists and you are using mods, you should post in the above thread.

## Sim, tive que remover todos os mods para conseguir abrir o jogo. Agora e o trabalho de descobrir qual esta gernado o problema

Yes, I had to remove all mods in order to open the game. Now it’s the job of finding out what the problem is

That did help, but now the issue is a ridiculous ping time, but that is a different issue.

Thank you!
