ISSUE EXPERIENCED

^{DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.}

When using ANY Mod Data set (that works, as in, doesn’t cause the game to outright crash or say the .json files aren’t right or something) on ANY campaign mission, the game freezes upon exiting, specifically when clicking “Return to Campaigns” or “Return to Maps”. It does NOT happen when clicking “Next Level”, since that loads the next level in a vanilla state anyway. When exiting a campaign mission using a Mod Data set, the resulting screen is practically black, with only a few game effect remaining (blood, footprints on snow, upgrade in progress glow, etc.). I am unable to do anything. The only thing I can do is force quit the entire application.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

^{How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST !}

100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

REPRODUCTION STEPS

^{List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!}

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

Open the game. Select Campaigns in either the regular game or any of the DLC.
Choose a Campaign to play. Before clicking any mission you’ve unlocked in that particular campaign, choose any Mod Data set (that works) to launch the mission with. Wait for the mission to load.
Once the mission is loaded with your chosen Mod Data set, quit the mission and choose either “Return to Campaigns” or “Return to Maps”. The issue should happen.

EXPECTED RESULT

^{What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?}

You’re supposed to be able to return to the previous menu where you choose your mission.
