Ambiguous package name error fix

[data lovelace]

I want to start this by saying that I don't expect anyone else to ever get this error because I think it is caused by my very unique situation but I'm writing this just in case someone else does.

I was getting an error which was:
Ambiguous package name: Using 'C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Viscera\UDKGame\Content\Mods\E1M2\SeqAct_GetPlayerRnL.u', not 'C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Viscera\UDKGame\Content\Mods\postal\SqeAct_GetPlayerRnL.u'
I only got this error after downloading literally every workshop map. The fix I found is simply to delete the file at the location of the first directory in the error message. I haven't completed the map that the file is from yet so I am not sure if it will break that one map, but I was able to load into it just fine after deleting it. This fixes the errors so this should be a mostly sufficient fix. I will update this once I get the chance to properly play that map and test if it works.

IS A KNOWN ISSUE both me and cannonfOdder are using the same file
we both posted how to fix it if you get that warning in our map descriptions!!!!
I created this file
it will be fixed after the next official game update=devs are adding this file officially to VCD in next game update under a different file name
when that happens me and cannonfOdder should be able to delete the file and use the devs file
that makes the same thing work thats in the script file i made!

ie=what does that file actually do=
flashlight that points up down left right instead of being stuck on left to right
make janitor pee just like in postal 2
that script file has alot of different uses like attaching a camera to janitor=watch yourself cl;ean map on say a cinema screen while cleaning a cinema map etc
it also works well with security cameras n loads of other stuff one wants to attach to player 1

and yeah the simple fix if your subbed to maps that contain that file is to delete all copies and only keep one copy of that script file=any subbed map that uses that file will share the file as long as have 1 copy of file maps that require that file will not crash on ya=happy cleaning:)
e1m2 nuclear plant and fodders postal maps use this script file

keep 1 copy of file so it not break the map you play=it not matter which map you deleted the copy from as long as game has 1 copy of SeqAct_GetPlayerRnL.u it will work just fine:)
if one of those maps get updated you may have to delete copy of file again if message reappears:)
same if reinstall vcd

[A JANITOR]

yeah that happens
new file is just a mod that adds extra features to vcd=custom made game code
simple fix keep 1 copy of file and any map that uses it will share it=map wont crash on ya minus the warning message:)

e1m2 nuclear plant and the 2 postal maps contain this file
if i forgot to add another map im sure i posted it in my map descriptions
maybe fodder forgot to add fix to description
if have any problems
the easy fix is to go in vcd's mods folder and check for more than 1 copy of SeqAct_GetPlayerRnL.u in each of the mod folders
each mod folder should have a udk and a upk file
if you find more than 1 .u file delete the copy but keep 1 copy of SeqAct_GetPlayerRnL.u file
delete all copies of file from any map folder but keep 1 copy of the file=game runs fine the workshop maps that use file will share the file:)
i too am subbed to every map=everything works fine no crashes no warnings:)
i heavily modify this game but one thing i never do is change the vanilla files=multiplayer works in every map vanilla and workshop
if change any vanilla file mp wont work lol
i have modded the main menu=that is compatible with mp and wont stop mp from working even if friend/s not subbed to main menu mod
to install my main menu mod it has manual install instructions

so year good idea to read every map description of each map you dsub to
some maps esp mine have added features and more controls
ie
use security camer shotgun
toggle 3rd person view
use flashlight
play 3d cleanup pinball etc

hmm are you stuck on a loading screen??? and it just freezes????

solution for maps that have heaps of custom assets
ie
oil rig
necromunder
postal maps both of em
nintendo 64 maps
dukeburger
drop the base
hangar
if it gets stuck on loading screen forever there is a bug that stops the shader cache from being rebuilt while map starts


to fix this
start the level editor
load any mod/maps udk file in the level editor (that is stuck on loading screen)
will be greeted with a black popup choose open existing map
browse to mods folder
open the mods udk file that is crashing vcd/stuck on loading screen
not sure which mods udk file to open=open all of em 1 at a time but must wait for each file to fully load then exit editor start game load map=no crashes=not stuck on loading screen anymore=it just works

wait for it to fully load=(IT SAY IT BUILDING SHADERS/TERXTURE INFO WHILE IT LOADS)
iot will automatically rebuild the shader cache and add the custom assets to your game
as soon as map finished loading in level editor simply exit the editor do not save map if prompted when exit level editor=prevents file corruption/errors:)

start vcd and that map will load just fine instead of getting stuck on a loading screen
if get stuck on loading screen its a forced shutdown power off and restart as task manager=cant use it if vcd freezes on a loading screen!!!

hope this helps every map works
medical x is broken dont sub to that one
i posted a download link to fixed version of medical x in that maps comments:)

if you bought the house of horror DLC then every map on workshop will work
if not have the dlc it a good idea to buy the dlc
alot of maps dont work without the HOH dlc

I'll just be playing a map, any map, even default ones, then evey about 30 minutes the game will just stop responding
another thing that causes this is steam cloud=disable steam cloud in the vcd updates tab in steam library settings
while playing vcd in offline mode disable the workshop icon in the main menu it causes crash every 30 mins on any map vanilla or workshop
best to playt vcd while in online mode away or invisible=no crashes with workshop icon enabled

i too get crash after 30 mins if i play vcd in steams offline mode????

[0020.72] ScriptWarning: Accessed None 'myHUD'
PlayerController VC_Digsite.TheWorld:PersistentLevel.PlayerController_0
Function Engine.PlayerController:AdjustHUDRenderSize:006F

sounds like the digsite.udk file is corrupt or 1 or more game files that map uses=


ah ok the game is corrupt on your end=
ie previous game update broke something

how to fix that=

open viscera folder
keep the saves folder so ya not lose the office treasure ya collected
delete every other file
should have an empty viscera folder with a saves folder in it
verify integrity of game cache to reinstall vcd
start vcd and wait for maps to reinstall

ive had these problems too
reason=verify integrity of game cache is useless steam skips corrupt files=10 files missing
delete the cause then verify game cache=over 1000 files missing that steam will redownload=fixed
after all that delete copy of that script file again dso ya only have 1 copy of that get player.u file
game will run fine

[A JANITOR]

ah thats odd
do ya have win 10
set compatabillity mode on all of vcd's udk.exe files in both 32 and 64 bit binaries folders to run as administrator and compatabillity mode for windows 7
perhaps do this for RUST.exe too
maps should automatically install when sub to one
if bulk subbed be careful

to test if something is wrong while the workshop icon in main menu is lit up bright blue(shaded if its disabled)
hover the mouse arrow over the icon it says what steam is doing and ya should see blood popups ie
a mod file is downloading
mod installed
game restart is required

if steam icon is stuck on steam is detecting changes forever (2 weeks later it still stuck)

unsub so your subbed to less than 50 maps=this will fix that as there is a steam bug that stops every map installing in one bulk download

steam workshop downloader tool is last resort if maps wont auto install
1 of my maps requres manual unpack=vcd main menu mod
all other maps auto install
can play map when it finishes installing exit and restart game when workshop icon says workshop has finished working(if hover mouse arrow over workshop icon)
exit game start it again and should see new map in the start work list

i use win 8.1 no issues everything works fine win 10 sux:)

what would cause maps to not install is vcd not creating 2 files
also subbing to more than 50 maps in one big hit can do this
this could have something to do with windows uac account control deniying vcd access to read or write to install directory
1st symptom is game wont save if try to save it!
this could be a windows 10 issue too
for workshop to install mods properly it has 2 files that control this

RUSTmods.cfg in the config folder
RUSTmanifest.ini in rust downloads folder
if these files not exist vcd wont install anything from workshop automatically

if mods continue to not install automatically then the devs might have a solution=i doupt it i can fix anything that goes haywire in vcd:)

if thats the case and cant fix it esp after a reinstall the best action is to use the steam workshop downloader tool but keep an eye out for map updates=us map creators regularly update our maps:)
every map on workshop works exept medical x signati something dont sub to that one:)
good luck

yeah try the compatabillity settings if have windows 10
if that not fix it
can try this
go on miscrosoft website and install visualc++redist 2010 and 2013 (these files are not in vcd installer and ue3 needs both these files)
if you can run 32 and 64 bit vcd install both 32 and 64 bit visualc++redist files
if cant run one of em only install the right one for you system
make sure dot net framework 4.5 is installed(probly fail on win 10 as dot net has a newer version)
also install directx 9 from microsoft website or if have nvidia card use nvidia control panel to create a game profile to force vcd to run in dx 9 or 10 or 11 mode (i dont think ue3 supports dx 12 or higher??
for me the games installer fails to install dx 9
microsoft installer not fail on me:)
if have an nvidia video card gtx 960 or higher install nvidia physx driver=goodbye lag

my pc has no video card 32mb of video memory @60fps in every map:)
vcd works without a video card:)
still not working=
try some of the solutios of the faq page common problems and solutions

still not working post most recent log file open it it in notepad copy an paste txt in new post
best log to paste here is esp if the game just crashes it 1st file in logs folder is best one to post

perhaps the devs can help you

just posting stuff i know as i been modding this game for 4 years without errors:)

still continue to have problems this might sound strange
install the 2013 unreal tournament free udk dev kit it may fix it all for ya=best part is it comes with a free game=ut3
also another strange fix install goat simulator(same engine build number vcd has)
if not want buy goat sim install the free goat sim demo it fix it:)

@ devs goat simulator has loads of redist files that are not in the vcd installer?????

if goat sim not work properly vcd not work proply same with any unreal engine 3 game
arma 3 etc

there is one more fix you can try=
copy the viscera folder and paste it on your desktop
make sure steam is running when ya start one of the udk.exe files in the desktop copy to start vcd=workshop should install mods just fine to the desktop copy=bypasses windows uac bugs
for that fix to work dont use the steam play button run udk.exe from desktop copy as admistrator compat mode for win 7

your not alone i have a few steam freinds with the exact same problem you have=they all have windows 10?
1 in 100000 players have the problem you have
dunno maybe a computer virus did something=check for virus check for adware/browser hijackers/worms n trogans:)
my pc has no virus=no problems:)

nvidia experience may cause issues too uninstall that maybe it fix it
nvidia experience stops multiplayer from working

this game is great fun in multiplayer=something i play alot of in vcd=every map works:)

[A JANITOR]

hmm
yeah dot net 4.5 fail to install if have win 10 as win 10 has a newer version should not cause problems
windows update installed the latest dot net framework on my win 8.1 pc and vcd runs fine
so does workshop and multiplayer no issues

whatever it is thats causi g problems for you is very strange

perhaps copy the game to desktop maybe that fix it
ie
bypass windows uac bugs as administrator:)
syeam still installs workshop maps in a desktop copy of the game when ya start the desktop copy while steam is running
dont sub ingame
only sub from main workshop page when vcd isnt running

subbing via steam overlay ingame doesnt work

something sounds very strange on your end

perhaps wait for devs to reply they may have a better idea
post a log file it may help devs diagnose the problem:)
