Hi folks, I'm still new to this world of mods. I have one problem with the Giants editor, when I go to run an I3D file in the Giants editor, which is saved in my PC. The Giants editor starts loading it and suddenly shuts down. PLZ help !!

At first look into editor log for errors: %LOCALAPPDATA%\GIANTS Editor ...\editor_log.txt

If I understand you correctly, you mean console. If so, it doesn't say that. Moreover, it does not indicate any errors.

You can enter the path %LOCALAPPDATA% also directly in Windows Explorer.

Without log it's quite impossible to say what's wrong. Start the editor without file and enable console window, then load the i3d. The console output will indicate errors just like the logfile.

What you also must heed:
1. Make sure, all files for editor (and game) are on local drives, also the user datas. They should be NOT in cloud storage like OneDrive.
2. A Windows update might have changed certain settings. Often it helps if you delete in %LOCALAPPDATA%\GIANTS Editor ... the file "editor.xml" and the content of folder "shader_cache".
3. Be sure to use the right editor version. The GE8 will only work properly with FS19 files, pre-FS19 mods use other methods and may give errors upto crashes.

Ok Bilbo I looked in the console and there are no errors there, the Giants editor version is 8.2.2. I deleted the files from the "shader_cache" folder and the xml editor file. Still sadly the same problem :( , by the way thank you for trying to help me.

But default game i3d's you can open and edit?
So I'd guess the mod is not compatible with FS19/GE8 or it is corrupted somehow.
