    One shot you can do is
    rename your giraffe_storage folder to anything you want.
    Launch game.

    If it loads without any errors, then copy your player and universe folder from the old giraffe_storage into the new one.

    see the thing is i have no mods in the mod folder anymore and it gives the same error with no mods in the folder

    I didn't say anything about the mods folder.
    Please follow the instructions.

    ok i figured out the problem it was the player save data and the universe save data that was causing the problem is my guess so i am doing some tests to see if it was just the player data files in the player folder and the universe files in the universe folder trying to launch with the mods folder and the updated mods now[DOUBLEPOST=1451590448][/DOUBLEPOST]ok my tests have shown that i was correct in the problem was the data files in the universe and player folders and it is now working thank you for all of your help

    I have the same problem actually and wasted quite a bit of my night trying to solve this problem, but didnt have any luck. If what you're saying is true and that it did work, would you mind showing me exactly how you solved this issue?

    well i did what the moderator said and renamed my folder re launched the game with out the mods if it started up i then shut it down and transferred the folders to the new giraffe folder like instructed and then tried starting up the game if it didn't work then i would delete the data in the player folder and the universe folder that was transferred from the old renamed one then relaunched to check to see if that was the problem if so i then shut it down and transferred the mod folder with the mods from the old folder to the knew one and then restart it back up and see if it works if it does then problem solved
