Just used the auto update to install patch 1. Now the game will not launch. The error log follows:

If you are using my mod then you need to upgrade to v3.14.  If you are using some other mod, then most likely you need to remove it as it probably is not compatible with the patched version.  At any rate, your error indicates you are using a pre-patch system.xbg file with the patched version of the game.
