Game stuck on black screen after booting it up

[calm lantern]

Hi! The game has been working fine for a bit, until I tried booting it up today.
Now I'm met with an infinite black screen which occasionally turns into a "rainworld.exe is not responding."
I have checked the "exceptionLog.txt" file and I see this

ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path. System.IO.Path.Combine (System.String path1, System.String path2) (at <a1e9f114a6e64f4eacb529fc802ec93d>:0) ModManager.CheckForDeletedBepinexMods (RainWorld rainWorld) (at <111920e0755047e3b1694d590eb02160>:0) Menu.InitializationScreen.Update () (at <111920e0755047e3b1694d590eb02160>:0) MainLoopProcess.RawUpdate (System.Single dt) (at <111920e0755047e3b1694d590eb02160>:0) ProcessManager.Update (System.Single deltaTime) (at <111920e0755047e3b1694d590eb02160>:0) RainWorld.Update () (at <111920e0755047e3b1694d590eb02160>:0)

Help would be gladly appreciated

Hi, what solutions have you tried already and have you installed any new mods recently/what mods do you have installed?

Just wanted to say it looks like the logs you gave are saying a file is possibly named wrong, or has a wrong character in a line of some sort. Try verifying integrity of files first before anything else!

And if nothing else works, try downloading this mod with these steps in order to get more specific logs and screenshot them here: #1223230090188554310 message

Another fix!

Wait whoops it copy and pasted the wrong one?

Hi! Sorry for not responding, I have been busy
I figured out it was the known bug where the game gets wrecked if you hibernate in the shelter near the Wall as the Monk.
I fixed it by applying the "HibernationFix.dll" file to the plugins folder in Bepinex
