Realm of Thrones crashes

[Cirkininkas]

Just downloaded the mod, put it to modules folder and started the game.
Looked at the mod list just to make sure all mods in order.
The ROT-CORE mod seems to somehow uncheck automatically and i cant check the mod back to load it. And additionally game just doesn't even start.
Can the problem be, that butterlib, harmony, softwere extender, ui extender are installed not manually, but through the vortex?

Thanks for help in advance guys.

Same advice on the other RoT thread - you should go to their discord. I imagine they will be able to provide you with much better assistance than anyone here.

You have to decide wether or not you use mods manually or not, if you launch the game through vortex with Realm of Thrones manually installed it will not work obviously.

My recommendation to you is avoid Vortex like the plague that it is, installing mods manually and sorting them yourself does a far better job at keeping mods compatible than that mod manager.

And yes installing dependencies through a mod manager will not work if ROT is installed manually, just avoid Vortex completely, it's garbage.

If i want to use a collection i just download them manually and sort them myself, never had a crash that way, as long as the mods are compatible with my version.

If you don't know how to sort mods it's pretty easy.

1. Patches, Dependencies, libraries.

2. Fixes, Utility, ui changes, non core mods.

3. Minor gameplay changing mods.

4. Companions and Troop changes

5. Major gameplay changing mods

6. Total Conversions/Overhauls and their patches/fixes

7. Tweaks/high priority overwrite mods.

It doesn't have to be 100% accurate, as long as you sort the TC and overhaul mods before their patches it should work just fine.

Like for example I use CA Eagle Rising with the Europe Map addons and it sorts like this.

CA Eagle Rising (Total Conversion)
Europe Map
Ca Eagle Rising - Europe Map Submod.

The mod's help threads are closed or inaccessible unfortunately.

I managed to get it working, a few pointers to help you in the right direction:
- Make sure to unblock all .dll's in the /bin folders of every mod. This is tedious work, but you can possibly do this with a feature in your mod loader or otherwise: [Select the file -> Alt + Enter -> tab 3x -> space -> enter] to speed up this process. Saved me a lot of clicking.
- Make sure to have all prerequisite mods installed. My mods (all required for ROT) and load order are:
Harmony v2.3.3.207
Butterlib v2.9.10.0
UIExtenderEx v2.12.0.0
Mod Configuration Menu v5.10.1.0
(vanilla) Native
(vanilla) Sandbox Core
(vanilla) Sandbox
(vanilla) Storymode
(vanilla) CustomBattle
(vanilla) Birth and aging options
ROT Core v1.2.10.3
ROT-Content v1.2.10.3
ROT-Map v1.2.10.3
ROT-Dragon e1.2.10.3


Also, try to run the game through its regular launcher (and check the load order here). That worked for me.

BTW, the first time the game starts with ROT active, the loading screen will be showing for quite some time (took 5-10 mins for me, but can take up to 30 mins according to the modder). This is normal.
