Game no longer launching from Mod Manager

[Richon]

For reasons unknown to me, I can no longer launch the game using the Mod Manager. It brings up the start up screen, but when I tell it to launch, nothing happens. Anyone else having this problem?

Also, the standard launcher no longer appears to exist. If I start the game direct from Steam, it goes straight into the game without booting up the launcher.

Firstly I would verify the integrity of the game cache.

Secondly, maybe look at the Patch 17 Troubleshooting stickie. Might be something in there that could help.

Thirdly you tried searching the official support forums?

The issue sounds vaguely familiar, so you might be able to find some posts by other people who have had this issue and found a fix. If not, then you can create a post about it. (Note the official support forums are community run, but are on the official forums so CA has a larger presence than here.)

All the Best,

I did verify the integrity already. That's actually when the standard launcher stopped working. It worked before I verified, but not after.

I'll take a look at the others. But an initial google search for this issue yielded no results of any kind.

There was an issue with the launcher which I remember reading about that was similar, so maybe try searching for "launcher" rather than mod manager (if you haven't already.)

Just to check, is this the official mod manager/launcher, or is this a third party mod manager (e.g. Mitch's Mod Manager?) Mitch's one isn't meant to work anymore because it's not up to date.

It also could be that a mod isn't compatable with the latest version of Rome II and that's causing a conflict. Maybe try manually deleting all the mod files, then verify and then see if the game will launch properly with no mods.

Finally are you running Windows 10, in which case that could also be connected.

Hope that helps.

The official one does not exist for me anymore. As mentioned above, if I try to launch the game from Steam, no launcher or mod manager pops up. It immediately starts the game.

I've been using Mitch's for a long time now, since it is better at letting me control my mods. I never had problems until this latest patch.

Thankfully, I'm not using Windows 10. I'm still running 8.

Currently reverting to patch 16 to see if that solves the problem.
