Odd issue, but when I boot up game 3 through the manager, the game says I'm offline and consequently doesn't recognise any installed DLC's.

Mine takes around 10 mins to load, whereas for my one friend it takes 30 mins. So who knows!

30m to load!?

Yea, it loads "fine". It just takes forever.

Did someone manage to load it?
It just runs an hourglass and gets stuck forever

it takes 30min to load?! is there any support please?

best Mod Manager for Total War Warhammer 1, 2, 3 so far.
autosorting works correctly at least

This mod manager has been the only bypass for "incompatible versions" between my friends and I for years.

no idea, it just always takes a long while.
I usually allow myself to be distracted by something shiny and forget.

Why does it need so long to start?
When i open it i cant see the mods... there is just the windows hourglass and long times later the mods apear.

This mod manager broke my game. After installing it, I can no longer launch Total War Warhammer 3 from CA's launcher and the Mod Manager refuses to launch because it needs the game to regularly launch first

Mind putting the update back for those which do not play Pharaoh?

I mean, 43 minutes to start isn't that bad when CA's launcher doesn't work for you at all.

Why does this mod manager require x2 mod files? in data and workshop/content files?

me and my friend are having the same issue you start it up and the loading takes forever. plz fix

is it meant to take so long to load in even just a single mod? don't get me wrong, even with long load times it's still better than the vanilla mod manager, but man, i wish i didn't have to wait so long lol

i got the same problem now, it worked ok before, unninstalling mods and waiting did not work

go do something else for a while... i guess
if it's not done in half an hour, try something else

So when I first launch this it just goes non responding and the blue wheel spins and spins. Is this it not working, or just normal? I've been waiting a pretty long time.

how long did you wait?
it's taken 10+ min for me before.

Doesnt work, mods isnt responding, it start downloading mods, then iut just freeze, nothing is happening.

Botched my saves, can't load any of my old saves anymore. Getting a missing mod error.

This was a lifesaver back in TWW2, and now Kaedrin saves me again when TWW3 stock laucher breaks again (not applying mods) exactly like it did in TWW2. Would be so sad to play without mods!

Under Options, I have Dark Mode selected and bypass conflict detection. NOTHING else unless I am deliberately using a function.

What happens is you subscribe to a mod on Steam, it downloads to the mod folder (or the mod has updated). Kaedrin's then must compare what is in the workshop folders to what is in data and overwrite what is in data as needed or copy into data. The more mods you have for a loading TW game, the longer the process. The more changes needing to be updated, the more likely to run out of resources and crash.

BOTH
Installed to regular rotary hard drive will have the most crashes.
Installed to SSD better
Installed to NVMe SSD best
Again, 8GB ram, more crashes and 32GB ram least (above doesnt matter)

It is only actively checking the game selected to be loaded.

Everytime it starts it just says 'updating out of date mods' and stops responding

HazardHawk thanks. After some 20 attempts it is worked

When i start mod manager is is long period of loading and then program close. Tried to reuploade bur it is not worked. Seems like new putch broke something

HazrdHawk thanks so much for the explanation!! I rebooted and tried again and it does work.

@HazardHawk, also does this affect other total war games like 3K?

@HazardHawk does the number of continually opening the app after it closes each time correlate to the number of mods you have for a particular game? What happens if we switch games?

Just stepping in a moment to explain. After the ToD update, it forced almost all mods to update. It is crashing as it is being overloaded by the work it is doing re-matching everything so to speak.

Simple launch again and again until it stays launched and opens. How many times it takes depends directly upon your computer specs and how much other things are using resources with more priority.

Because it was running out or resources and crashing while attempting to load, some of the mods may not really be updated. Go to top menu, click options, check force update. Close the launcher, count to ten, launch again. Click ok when it needs, wait. Once loaded, go back to options, untick force downloads, click refresh, good to go.

Overall, this has been a fantastic tool. I just returned to this game though after a bit to check out the Thrones of decay dlc. Unfortunately, the mod manager won't load, now.

Hello, first I want to say that I enjoy your mod manager, helps a lot when using a lot of mods, but recently I got a problem that when I use the mod manager, some mechanics (Empire and Dwarf) disappear and I can't see them. I tried this with no mods active and the problem still persists.
I had to reinstall the game to be sure, and after deleting all the files from the game and the mod manager (Empire and Dwarf), I can confirm that for some reason after activating the Mod Manager, those mechanics disappear, and If I try to enter vanilla game, not with the mod manager, the mechanics won't appear.
Thanks for you hard work and for your time.

@4ÆM Bezmyateshnost` are all the mods you use up to date?

that not working animore. Need update - problem with ednlees loading with circle windows cursor

@HazardHawk, thank you.

@jerome.laquilaOptions in top menu, remove the check for force steam downloads.

Hi Chance,
would you know why the mod manager decided (randomly?) to update all the mods I modified till today? It's forcing an update and resetting everything whatever I do.

still doesn't finish for me...

Hello, now it will take me longer to open it.

@Chance, made mine 4GB aware, now works fantastic. That was all which was needed to stop the long waits.

everytime i open the mod manager it says there are out of date mods and its downloading, and to refresh after. this takes like 5 minutes and does nothing.

Those this manager only catch the game from steam folder on C: drive??

This one just spit out the "Unable to continue" window, which means I donot have the path to at least one Total War game, EVEN though I have it in my steam library and alreadt downloaded in my steam folder.

How can I delete a profile without deleting the mods tied to it?

just tried that, no difference.

have you tried launching it as administrator once, and than launching it normal afterwards?

same problem as Zaiyaku

The MM never finishes starting up, it gives me the downloading out of date mods warning.
then gives me the "please wait" blue circle forever.
help?

This mm copies mods to your data directory and one of the mods is getting loaded every time you start the game even when it’s not selected because of the way they built the mod.

My suggestion would be to uninstall and go to where the game was installed and make sure all files are deleted (ie, all the mods that were copied to data as they can end up left in data after an uninstall sometimes). Then give it a fresh install.

Mods that are set to movie are always loaded; and when used for actual content but are out of date are a huge source to f problems.
