Single-player
Bug with the launcher
PvE
France
Hi !
I had a weird bug.
In the first place, I thought it was from a mod (a very very good one).
Looking around, it turned out not to be.
Twelve hours earlier, I was still playing smoothly with a number of mods that all worked with version 2.4.
Twelve hours later, with no apparent update, I launch the game via the launcher and there, surprise, a mod has disappeared. Looking closely, I see that other mods are no longer in the modlist. However, .pak files are in their place.
I unsubscribed and unsubscribed from all mods, I re-subscribed to on Steam, I manually delete the folder where the .pak files are located. I close and relaunch Steam, I clear the Steam download cache, re-unsubscribed and re-re-subscribed. Nothing to do, some of the mods do not appear via the launcher’s mod management system. However, the .paks are there.
Little by little, I discovered that in the old mod system (“Main menu”, “Mods” section) in game ALL the mods are there. The “mods” section accessible from the Main menu, recognizes them all while this is not the case from this same section in the launcher.
Nothing to do to launch the game from the launcher because by this means, the unrecognized mods (which all work with 2.4 and a good part of which have also been updated for 2.4) do not launch with all the consequences in game.
On the other hand, if I run the game through Conan’s .exe - directly, therefore - the mods are recognized without problem, everything is fine.
In summary, if some of you have a problem with mods not recognized with the launcher, see if said mods are not recognized in the “Mods” section of the Main menu, directly within game. From there, possibly, put them back as “active” (as modlist created via the launcher had “corrupted” the same modlist), restart the game and relaunch it not with the launcher but with the game’s.exe…
Clearly a bug of which I do not know the cause … Thank you for your attention !
Best regards.
