ArgumentNullException when clicking the Run button when no Profile is selected in the Mod Manager

[pfroud]

With this mission string in the text editor:

1*Wires

When I click the Run button, nothing happens in the game, and this is added to the game log:

ERROR 2025-03-28 05:16:52,069 [Unity] Exception: ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.

I'm also getting this error. Is there any fix?
I've tried a variety of other settings to no avail.

I remember having this issue on a previous machine a while back. I don't know what fixed it, but after enough restarts it worked.

I've figured it out. The dynamic mission generator does NOT work without a profile set in the mod selector. If, like me, you never created one, some task handled my the mod loader fails.

My guess is that GetActiveDisableList assumes a profile exists, when it should consider nothing disabled when no profile exists.

Either way, creating a profile fixes the issue. Hope it works for you, too, I know it's been a year and a half.

It works, thank you for discovering that and posting about it!!
