Why is it SOOO HARD to Mod this game!!????

[Magadon93]

Ever since the update in June my game has never been the same again. The game just refuses to work with any mod installed. Everyone says "Oh just Unblock dll" I have tried that it dosent work. This game is now unplayable and I refuse to play it in its native state because the lack of story depth becomes very apparent after youve had a taste of modding.

Like, make sure the mod is updated to current version? That is probably the issue right there.

I play with about a dozen mods with no issues.

[Magadon93]

You really think I havent checked that?

[Magadon93]

Im running on the most recent beta now same thing.

[Leigh]

Yeah, most mods dont work with the beta.

Ive played Warband for years and never experienced any problems modding that game. I am actually a verteren of the franchise so please dont lecture me about appreciateing the devs because I do. Still me as the consumer should be able to enjoy the game without the level of crashes I keep experienceing. Besides stop silencing people like me this is the feedback devs are looking for.

You were modding a finished game. If updates are the problem, I think you can connect the dots there as to why it was easier for you with Warband.

The devs are looking for useful feedback. I'm quite sure they're aware that updates tend to break mods made for older versions.

It's an Early Access game.

It is not yet configured to fully support "mods."

That means players should expect many patches, many bug-fixes, many new issues coming up that have to be patched, broken saves, alien invasions and orange people in positions of political power.

The game does not yet officially support any modding whatsoever, at all. This means it is not yet ready to be modded in any way. Zero. Nada. It is not currently designed for the final mod format. It does not officially support the use of any mods. It is a game that will have its own construction set and will be fully mod capable, but does not yet fully support any mods at all. None.

Mods that have been shoehorned into working by using a .dll originally developed for Rimworld should not be trusted to work without the USER constantly checking for updates for those mods and managing their own modded game environment on their own, with no Official Support at all and a justified "You did it to yourself" attitude, coupled with a healthy does of "Mod at your own risk" sprinkled on top. Mods largely redirect the .exe to "look somewhere else" and/or include other data-sets than would have shipped with whatever Early Access Patch Version you are running. Which is not what the .executable expects right now...

There should be no doubt in your mind why your mods don't work well and why your saved game frequently gets borked or your game, itself, crashes, freezes, explodes or sprays dead lizards out of the case. If doubt still exists in your mind, read the above again. Then, very importantly:

It's. Your. Fault.

PS: It's an open-world sandbox kind of game. If you bought it looking for "story" you're not going to get much joy out of it. There will be more added when custom Companions are introduced and likely a great deal of polishing for the "Banner" quest, so hopefully you'll be entertained with that as well as whatever mods you choose to run AFTER Bannerlord's full release.

Never use beta branches as mod-base.. Betas are not stabile..

[Yuriqa]

Game is still Early Access and not even nearly finished... That should ring a bell that mods are not fully supported yet...

[Magadon93]

Thanks for all the cheeky comments. Got on here looking for any help from someone who actually could mod the game because people still have successfully modded it I was just wondering how.

You must be doing something wrong, perhaps you have mods that aren't compatible with each other, maybe you have corrupt files.

I have played with mods since april, especially on the beta version(s). I haven't had any significant issues. A lot of mods come with beta and main branch versions. Sometimes a game update calls for a mod update.

Thanks yea I am using vortex along with process of elimination. All I have at this point is Dismemberment and Xoberus Cut through everyone, and Over the shoulder. They are all up to date not sure if they work with the betas though. Ill have to review the mod descriptions again.

Does the game just crash as soon as you launch the game with these mods?

Before I quote the "turn it off, then back on" solution, I'll help you with those mods.

I think Xorberax's mods are fine, he makes fine mods and updates them, however Dismemberment hasn't been updated since April, and it doesn't work with latest patches, you need the mod called Dismemberment Plus.

If that doesn't work, try Xorberax's two mods together. If that doesn't work, uninstall all mods via Vortex, uninstall Bannerlord, re-install and pray.
