DARTHMOD/MODS NOT WORKING

[Cobretti]

Guys, i believe that im not a first one asking this question, but wtf happened to the Darthmod, i can't even launch it, i played it a couple of days before but it started to crash at the 8th turn so i reinstalled the whole game and a mod, and now it just crashes after DM logo and that's it. I heard that an update caused this problems with mods, but why the hell everything was fine a couple of days ago, anyone know a sollution? Btw i tryed to use beta mac/linux version of the game and nothing helped.

Is there a proper solution for this type of problem?

The whole truth? CA/SEGA enforced the EULA along with removing online in game chat and adding the security patches so windows will still be able to run empire and napoleon after October. You will see people saying, "Oh, the modder needs to update" but NONE of the mod dependent files were altered. The exe security cannot see the mod files as they dont have the correct security attached by assembly kit which is now required to run a mod on any TW game Empire and after

I brought this up on the total war Reddit, and a bunch of warhammer fans accused me of being paranoid. It's obvious why they did this, and yet the fanboys don't want to acknowledge the truth.

I've been running darthmod on empire and napoleon just fine ever since the updates. Just make sure to run it through the mod launcher first and it should work fine. Frankly for me the only reason I use any mods is to unlock the other factions, so I just turn off all the other added stuff like bigger units anyhow.

Have noticed that enabling any of the submods in the Darthmod launcher causes the game to just hang on start-up (task manager: "not responding"). Leave submod options disabled and the game should boot. Have tested this about 4 times now. Slightly annoying though as I wanted the death animation submod enabled really.

i been playing same old darthmod 8.0.1 with same old 40 unit saves and it works fine.

Out of interest, do you know if further files need to be downloaded for the submods? Or are they included in Darthmod 8.0.1?

Are you guys experiencing a bug that you can't go into another theater?

A noobie here - where can I find this darthmod? Usually there is a workshop for game where I can find mods, but I cannot see here anything. Or maybe you know a better mod to get 500k + 1mln casualties achievement?

This game doesn't have a steam workshop, go to twcenter and most mods can be found on there, github as well

Is this you trying to put a spin on an update that allows this game to be played on 12th gen cpu's? Was this not also something that you stated they would never fix and did intentionally as part of some greater nefarious scheme? The answer is yes to both. Even a broken clock is right twice a day and has a better track record than you.

I have managed to change theatres with Darthmod installed. Checked with vanilla also and no problems. I have no submods selected in the launcher and Darthmod is the only mod I have installed.

Figured id try the mod again as its been ages, installed fine, patched fine, readied the dm launcher, launched empire, got the DM empire logo splash screen, and then the game closes, doesnt seem to be a "crash" steam just closes the game.
Tried purging the preferences scripts and all that stuff and reinstalling everything fresh too, with no joy, same thing. Anyone having any joy?

[trickytrevor46]

grog, Yeh had exactly the same issues as yourself in the end i had to purge everything then Verify Game Integrity made sure to Manually check all related files and deleted EVERYTHING and ALL Folder options then launched with total VANILLA and now am running fine up to 1721 now, am gutted to lose a game that had been running more then 4 years though, did a bit of a rage quite and sad to say i set fire to the CAT, but he is all right now ,but he does give me a funny look when he thinks im not looking lol....No animals where injured during the construction of previous text....ATB....SNAFU
