Hello there,

Yesterday, when I first played minetest, it runs smoothly but at the other day which is today when I tried to play minetest in my world it always says this in the debug folder:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: ========== ERROR FROM LUA =========== 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: Failed to load and run script from 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: D:\minetest-0.4.10\bin\..\builtin\init.lua: 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: D:\minetest-0.4.10\bin\..\builtin\game\forceloading.lua:66: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil) 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: stack traceback: 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: [C]: in function 'pairs' 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: D:\minetest-0.4.10\bin\..\builtin\game\forceloading.lua:66: in main chunk 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: [C]: in function 'dofile' 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: D:\minetest-0.4.10\bin\..\builtin\game\init.lua:21: in main chunk 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: [C]: in function 'dofile' 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: D:\minetest-0.4.10\bin\..\builtin\init.lua:24: in main chunk 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: ======= END OF ERROR FROM LUA ======== 14:56:03: ERROR[main]: ModError: ModError: Failed to load and run D:\minetest-0.4.10\bin\..\builtin\init.lua

hud, locked_sign, player_textures snd xban2 shoudln't cause this error, but areas, sprint and worledit might do so. Disable every mod, and then try this:

- Enable 1 of the mods
- Try playing your world
- If it crashes:
-> Congratulations, you found the mod which causes the crash, contact the developer
- If the world loads
-> Exit, Disable all mods and do this list again

When I tried this almost all of the mods are making this error.
Also for you to know its from the builtin Lua file.

There's already a fix in github - it waits to get merged.

From the code, it seems it fails to deserialize the map blocks to be force-loaded.

Go to the `worlds/yourworld/' directory, and see the size of the `force_loaded.txt' file.

It's most likely empty. Rename it to something else like `force_loaded.old' if it's not empty.

Thanks for the help :D
It really worked out.

Had this error again in my world. Everytime I create a world then at some time it always makes this error everytime I played that world.
