Crashing before even loading the game

[LadyyRaven]

Whenever I have the owml installed through the mod manager, I get a unity error pop up and Outer Wilds doesn't load at all. Checking the log I see this

Started OWML v1.1.8	OWML
Current game path is not valid: C:/Program Files/Epic Games/OuterWilds	OWML
Game found in c:/program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/Outer Wilds	OWML
Game version: not found	OWML
Warning - invalid game version format	OWML
Game files copied.	OWML
Warning - No mods found.	OWML
PermanentManager.Awake is already patched.	OWML
No mods require VR.	OWML
Starting game...

And then the unity error flashes for a second before vanishing. After uninstalling the mod manager and mod loader, my game continues to crash until I verify the game files and reacquire them

Found the issue, my mistake

Release versions of OWML currently do not support EotE version of the game. In order to play with mods you will have to downgrade to 1.0.7 (instructions on downgrading in Steam can be found in Outer Wilds unofficial Discord server ( https://discord.gg/q7s7zcPx ) #modding channel in pinned messages)
