Corrupted Settings Git Repo Recovery #469

Open Zaflis opened 3 weeks ago

Zaflis commented 3 weeks ago

I downloaded and installed latest .NET SDK by link in Synthesis guide. Then extracted Synthesis 0.29.2 to some game folder on my disk. When i try to start Synthesis.exe normally or as admin, it just shows the logo and ends.

The log is talking about "PipelineSettings.json" but there is no such file in the first place.

When i run command prompt i get: C:>dotnet --version 8.0.401

I have also deleted \AppData\Local\Temp\Synthesis\ folder and everything in the Synthesis folder too, then extracted the zip again to it to try, but doesn't help.

Just some info gathering:

Have you run Synthesis before? Is this your first time? Or are you upgrading from an older version?
G:\Pelit\SkyrimSE\Synthesis\Synthesis.exe is this underneath your skyrim installation? Eg, does G:\Pelit\SkyrimSE\SkyrimSE.exe exist? If so, try moving synthesis' location to not within the skyrim game installation.
Can you show me the contents of the folder that Synthesis.exe is in?

Zaflis commented 3 weeks ago

No the Skyrim SE is in G:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\

There is literally nothing other than what the zip file from this github contained, i deleted everything in it before that. Yes it was installed before as i tried to get it working some week ago to no avail back then either. Somehow it did show main window once back then but there was issues integrating it with my mods in MO2. Now i can't even get back to that point. I'm not starting the exe from MO2 now, just directly from file explorer.

Alright, I'll see if i can add some logging around the area you're having trouble with. Hang tight

Noggog commented 3 weeks ago

Oh, few other questions

I'm not starting the exe from MO2 now, just directly from file explorer.

Are you saying that it starts if you run it normally without any mod manager? Or is it having issues there as well?

Zaflis commented 3 weeks ago

It didn't start from MO2 either (today). The earlier time it launched but then told me to download .NET everytime, even after installing it. Anyway that's not the current problem yet anyway.

Noggog commented 3 weeks ago

Alright, I can't upload a test synthesis version here (too big). Swing by the discord and we can keep chatting there

Noggog commented 3 weeks ago

Ended up being a corrupted .git folder that was used for the settings backup next to the exe
