Fix the mods with new launcher (UPDATED #2)

I heard some users and modders are having issues with new launcher. This guide how I fixed the new launcher, follow the guide below.


NOTE: Not all mods may resolve the issue. You have to wait CA will fix the assembly kit in next week since the creation of this guide.

UPDATE: I found a way to enable mods since the mod files weren't added in data folder, there is an another method you may follow below.

Method 1: Fix the launcher

1. Do right click at name of this game in list and select properties.
   
2. Go to BETA tab and select launcher_release_candidate
   
3. Then close the window and wait for download to complete, then run the game, select some mods are updated and enable them, then run the game and you may load your game if this mod is save game compatible.
   
4. The mod worked, I'm using New World Versus Old World - UI Overhaul
   
5. Then exit the game and repeat the first step, now select none in BETA tab and close the window.
   
6. Re-enable the mods again in new launcher.
   
7. It should work after all as it's in my game. (I assume they changed settings each you change the launcher, not sure how it happened.)
   

Method 2: Move the mod files

If you have subscribed the mods and you tought those mods didn't work, follow this:

1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War WARHAMMER II and open used_mods.txt to identify what's the route you subscribed the mod.
   
   
2. Select one of the mods and copy this route like "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/594570/XXXXXXX" (XXXXXX is a variable of subscribed mod.)
   
   
3. Paste in the path field in windows explorer, you see 2 files you need to copy these files.
   
   
4. Then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War WARHAMMER II\data and paste the files you have copied mod files from workshop folder to this data directory.
   
   That's all, make sure the mods are enabled in launcher. I got 2 mods are working now since they didn't work in the launcher.
   
   • Immersive Battle Banners
     
   • Building Progression Icons
   

Method 3: Use the mod manager by Kaedrin

Basically download this zip file and extract somewhere then run the executable.

https://github.com/Kaedrin/warhammer-mod-manager/files/3101693/TotalWarModManager.zip


Follow the important notes in this app before to launch the game.

• You MUST disable ALL mods in the CA Mod Manager BEFORE Launch in the New Mod Manager for Warhammer 2.
  
• You MUST REVERT TO VANILLA in order to go back to use the CA Mod Manager after using the New Mod Manager for Warhammer 2.

Cheers.

i so confused how do u dowload mods. i just click subscribe and think there downloaded

[bat592]

Will these methods fix broken scripts?

[MertAydogan]

Thanks for the info mate ,ı really appreciate it .I am going to try it within an hour.
Also do you know is it possible to detect which mod in the data folder causing crashes ?
error log or crash log doesn't provide us that infor as ı can remember.
Is there another way to know which mod causes crash rather than just trying and removing it one by one .

@MertSimgeErcanAydogan The launcher doesn't download mods, it will read the installed mods from your subscriptions or local mods in warhammer 2/data folder in steam directory

[MertAydogan]

Thanks for trying to help dude but the problem is with the launcher.The current launcher can't download and update the mods.

[Filthy Pollo 🐔]

@MertSimgeErcanAydogan you could try delete this directory The Creative Assembly\launcher folder in %appdata%, if not working, you could try deleting Warhammer 2 folder in %appdata% but it will reset your settings and lose saved games.

Now the fucking retarded developers removed launcher_release_candidate from the beta options.Which was the only fucking working mod launcher for the mods and was the only launcher to fix the game mods,all mods are fucking gone.

Will these fucking idiot developers stop ruining the game ?

[HEU3BECTEH]

Thank you for the tip to use beta-launcher. I was unable to update my mods for a long time, but reinstalling the game with "release-candidate" helped. It works lame as usual, but at least it works.
It is stupid that uploading updated mod to the Workshop is harder than to recompile the mod itself.

@army89b It's strange. what's kind of mod are you using?

[army89b]

so, i did method 1 and it worked great but sadly now after a few minutes in game i black screen and it crashes. im only using 1 mod the no recap for player only any thoughts?
