Mod.io bug?

[,,o.O,,]

I tried to check out modding.
I was asked to enable modding, which I did. Then I should have logged in to mod.io (or use a code), but I pressed the 'X' on the window.
So I didn't log in. This resulted in a broken modding / game.

1. I'm not prompted to log in ever again.
2. If I'm subscribing to mods, refresh, enable, and try to go back to the menu, error is thrown and then all the mods are disabled. (Sometimes crash at this point)
3. All I can do is subscribe / unsubscribe mods, but not progressing with them.

Hi and thanks for the report on this. I am working to get some more information on this for and will let you know as soon as I have that info. Thanks for your patience.

Follow up from our mod team.
1. Did you ever actually get a game to start with any mods enabled?
2. Try subscribing to and enabling one of the original mods (Tech Pacing Mod by Tandis is a good candidate) and no others and see if an error appears.
3. Also make sure there is no "Update Mods" button in the upper left corner. If there is, then your data for mods is out of sync with what is on Mod.io and clicking this button should sync the two.
Can you share what the exact error you are getting is?

Hey,

I can't start game with mods enabled. There are two scenarios:

1. "mod reconfiguration failed" error comes up, with a prompt to check the logs folder. And with this step the 'modding enabled' automatically becomes disabled.
2. with some mods, I can start the game, but that is an instant CTD.

In the log file there's an entry:

[2025-01-08 13:10:07.994] [Warning|Modding ] User does not have permission to view user generated content. Mod Browser will be disabled.

Potentially because I circumvented the mod.io log-in accidentally, by closing the window.
(I quickly checked baldurs gate 3 implementation, they don't allow you to close the window, and it seems there's a non-sign-up limited modding functionality as well. I'm not sure what does that even mean.)

It seems some mods are not coming up with the reconfiguartion error, but then I get an error about 'failed to log in', with an in-game UI pop-up (not like the mod.io sign-in), but I'm not able to do anything about it, it just disappears. And the end result is CTD.

Thank you for the info. I will pass thing along to the team to see if they have any insights as to what might be happening for you.

So it appears we might have found out what is happening to you in particular. If you go to your mods folder located in Documents\My Games\Ara History Untold\Mods there should be several folders in there with numbers. Open one of the folders and there should be another folder in there, usually with the name of the mod, an image and at least one .zdata file. Open that folder with the mod name and take all the .zdata files and move those files to the previous folder (the one with the mod name folder and the image) and save. Do this for any of those mod folders you have, then try starting the game again.

I also get the "mod reconfiguration failed". I have moved the .zdata files and tried everything I can think of and I still get the same error message. I give up.

Thanks for the report and sorry you are having this issue. Can you try deleting the mod folder entirely, restart the game and select only the axeman mod, making sure mods are enabled and updated?
