Thanks, mjn.mixael. I just tried installing 1.2.3 and got the same weird error message from Knossos as before, saying it needed to be restarted before it could try again. Not thinking, I did shut it down and restart it. I should have snagged the log file before starting it again. Stupid.
Anyway, I then tried to verify file integrity for the 1.2.3 version, and it gave me the same "files need to be re-downloaded" error message as before. So I did that. Sure enough, get to the end of downloading and reinstalling, and Knossos says it has an error and needs to be restarted. Before I did this time, I snagged the log file.

In fairness, this is not the only problem I'm having with this install of Knossos. I can't get Mantle or Friends and Foes to install at all. Possibly I have a deeper issue with this install of knossos and need to find a way to start over. I really don't know anymore.
Thank you very much for the time you have put into this project. I almost finished my 2nd playthrough on version 1.2.1. I beat the last mission, but for some reason I got a CTD instead of the successful mission message and epilogue. All that aside, the writing, characterization, and atmosphere are superb! As is the variety in the missions. I remember when this first came out being worried that, since the focus was on a mission with minimal resources before the development of beams, that game play would be kind of humdrum. It is ANYTHING but! The scarcity of resources only heightens the desperation of the situation, and makes you sympathize with the people trying to make an honest living in the middle of the mess that is Antares.
This community has put out a huge amount of content over the years, but BtA is definitely in my top 3.
