Did you make sure you have the HD content packs installed?

Try using the MegaMod and see if the problem persists: https://github.com/Serosis/UQM-MegaMod/releases

Because I would really love to know if this is a problem with all mods based off HD.

I did not ensure I had the HD content packs installed, that was probably my issue. I just downloaded the beta alone and attempted to run it.

I'm assuming this is the HD-mod beta?

Yes, it is the HD-Mod beta.

Hello. I'm running Windows 10

(Edition   Windows 10 Home
Version   20H2
Installed on   ‎3/‎29/‎2021
OS build   19042.928
Experience   Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0) and downloaded the game. When I install and open the game for the first time, it appears to function, but it is zoomed in on the top of the screen. Changing the resolution fixes this, but mandates the game be reset. However, every time I try to open the game after that (using the shortcut made on install), it immediately closes. Has anyone had a similar problem?
