This afternoon, many of us TF gamers remained stuck from the new game update: the "UTF-8 checker" causes error-ctd if a mod file is encoded in non-utf8 code. Games seemed to work straight even before this new rule, IMO. Anyway, until TF won't release a fix, and since Steam doesn't allow to revert to a previuous build, I compiled a list of mods containing incorrect code, causing game to crash. Users may temporary disable these files or search for them and manually correct without watching everyone of the 13.754 files in the mod folder (yeah, that's the size of my folder! )

Surprisedly, the following Urban Games file wasn't accepted too!!!!!
Hope this may help. I have about 99% of the mods installed from train-fever.net, except repaints, so this should be a sufficiently comprehensive list. I'll update other news overnight, if any.
In general, I would politely ask devs to INFORM users before making such important updates, like when the DLC came out, deeply changing the modding system. A wonderful update, but which caused many of us to not being able to continue our savegames.
