[Bug]: .NET 6.0 runtime

Slluxx commented 8 months ago

All of the following criteria must be met

[X] All Requirements must be installed.
[X] I have searched the GitHub issues for my bug, even in the closed issues.

All of the following are optional to answer

[X] Tried reinstalling the Game.
[X] Tried reinstalling MelonLoader.
[X] Tried restarting PC.
[ ] Was able to see the Start Screen.

Describe the issue.

Same as https://github.com/LavaGang/MelonLoader/issues/488

MelonLoader would not recognize my net 6 installation because it only checked C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App not C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App

I unsintalled .net, installed .net and restarted my pc a billion times to try to fix this and then noticed that it will not recognize a 64 bit installation. It only magically started to work when i installed 32 bit dotnet.

Did you attach your log file?

So.. your game is 32 bit, so it needs 32 bit dotnet. What's the issue here?

The issue is that Melonloader does not tell you anything about it. Atleast its not nearly as clear as it should be. I did not know that you need both dotnet versions to handle 32 and 64 bit games because usually you only install or use anything that fits your processor architecture.

A "Hey, this game is using x32/64 and you are missing the dotnet version for it." is much more clear and will avoid future confusion.

While we are talking about this, i also got the error message "failed to load original dll". Dont know if its due to that or what it means. It doesnt tell me a path or filename so i can check on it myself and it also doesnt write anyhting to the logfile which is just plain bad. There is nothing i can do with this information unless i dive into the source code - which i did but others wont be able to.

There seems to be absolutly no information about generic error messages like these.

I am also getting this error message on a fresh install on a freshly set up PC. Installed .NET runtime 8 and 6 x64, tried to run on a x64 il2cpp game without any mods. Seems to work fine, but this error message pops up from time to time (but does not cause the game to crash).

Installed .NET runtime 8

You need the .NET 6 runtime.

The issue is that Melonloader does not tell you anything about it.

I think it's pretty clear when you read the Requirements section.

The rewrite will address this by shipping it though.

RinLovesYou commented 8 months ago

Closed as it's not a "Bug", but expected behavior. dotnet 6 is listed in the requirements section on both the github and the wiki.

No, its not. Otherwise me and others wouldnt be confused about it. Glad that it will be made easier though.
