Notice on updating to version 2.X from 1.X and crashes/error messages...

[Vice]

Here is some information for players encountering stop errors and how to fix them due to a common cause after updating to version 2.X.

A few players have reported encountering some error related stops in the game after updating to version 2.X. It usually occurs during the loading phase of the game (often in the 30-80% range). The cause may often be attributed to leaving old mod files behind that are not compatible with the new customizing systems in 2.X.

Remember that 2.X changes a lot of things with the media file system and there are new customizing options that are not compatible with version 1.X of the game. Leaving behind old mod files, especially for old cockpits and background environment graphics, can results in the game reporting an error about not being able to load/create an image, bitmap, mesh, or object. It may also just cause a CTD.

So when you upgrade to 2.X, make sure to remove any old mod folders you have remaining in the install folder before launching the game. Once you've got the game up and running, you can update the mods to work with 2.X as needed or reinstall them if they're still compatible.
