PLUGIN LOADER

[P H É L]

today I went to open the game and it crashed;
the plugin (LCD) is preventing the game from opening, showing a message that the plugin is in error... how am I going to remove the plugin if I can't open the game to remove it????

Hi, try by removing the Launch Options first and install the new updated version added to the Pin before loading a world save having Plugins, it's not the same since the last game update where the Workshop item got deleted for security reason.

Remove the Launch Options first :
-> Open your Steam Library

1 - Right click Space Engineers and select Properties.

2 - On the General tab you'll find Launch Options section.

3 - Remove the launch options.

4 - Close the game's Properties window and launch the game.

Looks like todays update broke Plugin Loader so remove it for now and report to the SE team to have the fix ASAP.

Verify the community reports on the Portal because more than A Lot are participating and may already be in.

All report directly to the SE Programmers :

Support Portal = https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc
(create "Bug report" or "Request help"(Private) or "Feedback"(Petition) on the Portal)

Don't use plugin loader. It causes many issues in the game.

You will mine ore and get only stone.

Oh! and better load a copy of the saves using Plugins and wait for a fix to load your original saves.

How to create a copy :

1 - Select your save.
2 - Click the "Save as" button on the left.
3 - Change the save name to create a *copy.
4 - Withdraw or add one Mod at a time in the copy.

*copy
Never test with your original save, better create a copy and fix the original save when solution found in the copy, this way you will not mess up your save.

To uninstall plugin loader:
First, unsubscribe from the workshop page
Second, remove all parameters from your start command line

Could we not find the physical plugin (lcd) in the root folder of the game and remove it? that would solve the case a lot.

Hypnosis; it is necessary at least for me, an example is the multigrid projector for me to manufacture my creative creations in my surival

As Dan2D3D said, the plugin loader itself needs updated because of this game update.

However, to answer your actual question about how to remove a plugin if you can't load the game, in case you need it in the future, go to your game install
\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Bin64\Plugins
You can then open up the config.xml file in notepad++ or similar and simply remove the plugin from the list of active plugins.

Just make a BP of each subgrid. Very easy. If you want to use plugin loader, and experience many gamebreaking issues then go ahead. I don't care really.

My post is rather to inform people who don't want to experience game breaking issues.

Don't post misinformation, it helps no one. I've used PL since it came out more than two years ago and haven't had a single game breaking issue caused by the loader. If you had problems it was a mod or plugin causing it.
This guy asked for help, you telling him to uninstall PL doesn't help.

Excuse me. I am a server admin for one of the most popular dedicated servers.

I have personally used plugin loader, and had the issue of ores not giving anything besides stone in both SP, and on multiple MP dedicated worlds.

Also, I have got countless reports of users having the same issue using PL.

You're the one spreading misinformation.

Cool dude. Stay safe.

I've used Plug in loader since the beginning without issue, except for when se updates break it. Just my 2 cents worth

The new Plugin Loader its not in Workshop, its a standalone Launcher
