hey i have this issue with UEViewer

[SK1D1092]

i dont understand what did i do wrong the game version is 4.27.1 if it would help

[Cracko298]

You can try FModel and see if it gives you the same result. As Umodel has proven to be extremely buggy, especially when handling obfuscation techniques.

Also, does the AES-Key prompt come up when loading into Umodel?

[Cracko298]

The minor version also does not matter. You only need "4.27", not "4.27.1" in your case.

The layout is as follows:

• Number 4 = Unreal Version
• Number 27 = Major Release
• Number 1 = Minor Release

ok but i tried f model and UEviewer and still none of them could load the pak file so i dont understand why

[SK1D1092]

and the aes key prompt wont come up

[Cracko298]

By chance does the game you're trying to mod have more than one *.pak file?

[SK1D1092]

no it has only 1 pak file

[SK1D1092]

ok rn the f model wrote me this error System.ArgumentException: Given directory must exist (Parameter '_workingDirectory') at CUE4Parse.FileProvider.DefaultFileProvider.Initialize()

[Cracko298]

Do you have any of the following characters in any of the paths that lead to the Umodel or Fmodel directory?

\ / ? " < > | :

[SK1D1092]

C:\Users---\Downloads\pak file

[Cracko298]

The error means that there are invalid characters that C++/C# cannot parse correctly. Thus giving the error provided. This also includes but not limited to the special characters such as japanese, chinese, or arabic.

Make sure that there are also no invisible characters that aren't spaces.

[Cracko298]

You could attempt to fix it by using a USB drive, or external drive/SDHC card. If that doesn't work, you will need to make an issue on FModel, or UModel GitHub repos, make sure to include the error that you had sent earlier in the one to FModel's GitHub Repo.

nah i fixed it beacause it was in the steam folder and it usually dont work there when i try it but when i grab it from the steam file and place it in desktop or downloads it wont say any error so i think there is no help here :D

[SK1D1092]

still wont load tho

[Cracko298]

If you already tried this: https://github.com/Cracko298/UE4-AES-Key-Extracting-Guide/issues/3#issuecomment-1575017228

I would recommend creating an issue with FModel, or UModel, make sure to include screenshots of errors, directories, and details about your game in the report. This could take several days, I'm a hobbiest of Game-Hacking, but I can't really help with C++ and C# errors other than comparing other reports to this specific problem.

[SK1D1092]

ok so fmodel support wont answer me for no reason and they even deleted my post :D but i found this on their discord do you know what does that mean?

[Cracko298]

Both applications do not open it. You can't open the game through FModel. I'll leave this issue open, just in case somebody else comes across this issue and has found a solution to it.

[SK1D1092]

so I found what I need but I wanted to ask fmodel uses dev uncompiled version that I need, do you happen to know how to compile it so I can run it bcs it has the version of the game i need.

This should help.

[SK1D1092]

ok i got everything i needed and i thank you wanted to ask just one thing if you maybe happend to know how to execute files that are in the game files but are not in the game

You can't execute not executable files, unless you have a compiler, or Interpreter. I'm not sure if you're English, sorry if I was a bit technical.

You can't execute files within a .pak file. You can modify .uasset (with UAsset GUI or API) files, and install em using UMU *Unreal Mod Unlocker by Illusionary Software (GHFear).

yeah i meant that thanks :D
