When is it being fixed?

Working on the basis that Mod Manager is broken will never lead to a solution - because that is not the problem.

I know what he meant. I am not sure that he meant what he wrote though.

And I'm sure he knows he won't get a response from Sega via a Steam discussion board.

bro for real decided to be the most un-likeable person in existence, jeez

Ultimately, you don't need the mod manager.

Simply:
1. Download Pack File Manager or Rusted Pack File Manager
2. Open the .pack files with PFM or RPFM
3. Under the top-left "PackFile" drop down list select "Change PackFile Type"
4. Change from Mod to Movie and save

Doing this will make mods load without needing to enable them.

Hey everyone, just FYI there is a fix for the missing mod manager in the works, hopefully won't take too much longer. We'll let you know when it's out.

Hey, are you going to fix the in-game encyclopedia being broken too? And what about broken colors for the battle minimap where topography is displayed in blackgreen colors only? What about chromiumcapsule.retail.exe crashing every 10 minutes when i try to open encylopedia or load any save files?

Thanks for the heads-up Steve.

This is a thread about the mod manager. If you have other issues to raise please report them through our support forums[forums.totalwar.com] rather than an unrelated thread.

Glad to hear. With this, my temporary boycott of CA is lifted, and I'll probably pick up the Chaos Dwarfs DLC this Summer Sale.

I hope this isn't considered a stupid question; I did search for an answer first, but... . Anyway, will existing subscribed mods automatically load without an activated mod manager?

Unfortunately, they will not.

Thank you.

If you want to use mods, you'll need to either install the fix detailed below (it's not hard if you have any experience with non-Steam modding), or wait for CA to push out the patch.

I found an fix at the mod DB website. It has mod files for all kind of games

https://www.moddb.com/search?q=Shogan+2+Mod+manager+fix&sa.x=0&sa.y=0

You don't have to join the site but I did just to have easy access

One simple download folder, extract the files and drop into your data folder. say yes when it ask to overwrite the game and mod folder exe. Start the game and you should have your mod screen back. Well, it worked for me. If you have desktop Icon to start the game it should still work and then you will get the mod manager to launch the game.
