    4746(1) Try to disable all mods not compatible with the new version via the `Mod Selection` page.[[BR]](2) If you cannot access the `Mod Selection` page, you should locate your `user.cfg` file (see [[GameDataPaths|wiki/GameDataPaths]]) and either delete it or search for `mod.enabledmods`. Replace this line with `mod.enabledmods = "mod public"`.[[BR]][[Image(FAQ:enablemods_user_cfg.jpg,center,500)]][[BR]](3) In some cases after disabling old mods, you might also have to delete the contents of your `/0ad/mods/user` folder. The wiki article [[GameDataPaths|wiki/GameDataPaths]] should tell you where to find it.
