same here.
To fix this issue make sure that portal 2 from steam is installed on the same drive as the sourcemod folder. So for example my portal 2 game is installed on my C: drive and I have the mod in my sourcefolder also on my C: drive.
Hey, I have another solution. My steam and the game installation library are not on the same drive. The steam store program is D:\steam\steamapps\, and the game library is "G:\steam\steamapps\". If I directory put the mod under the "G :\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\", steam can't correctly recognize the mod. Only put it under the "D:\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\" can steam correctly recognize the mod. However, an error such as "unable to load manifest file error for the sound manifest file" may occur. My solution is as follows:
it is still coming up with the error message.
MrHousehao's solution is weird AF and not at all necessary. The proper fix is to edit Portal 2 Speedrun Mod/gameinfo.txt
. Replace this line:
Game "|gameinfo_path|../../common/Portal 2/portal2"
with the correct path to the base game. e.g:
Game "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Portal 2/portal2"
do i have to have the mod installed on the same drive as portal 2 or where steam i installed
no
Yes, ThisAMJ solution was better and simpler than mine, and I use his solution now. thx
could this problem be caused by family sharing.
dont ask
No. So long as the base game is installed and the gameinfo.txt
in Speedrun Mod points to <base game path>/portal2
as shown above, this error should not occur.
I Dont Know Why, But It Is Still Showing The Error For Me After Trying What ThisAMJ Said
C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Portal 2/portal2
is where the base game is installed right? You may also have to open the base game once before opening Speedrun Mod.
Yes, ill try to do that later, then tell you if that works or not
it doesnt work
Go here:
Then go into the portal2
folder and click the search bar like this, then Ctrl+C:
Then paste into sourcemods/Portal 2 Speedrun Mod/gameinfo.txt
, inside quotes e.g:
Game "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Portal 2\portal2"
If it still doesn't work, try verifying game files for the base game and reinstalling Speedrun Mod.
Make sure you only have one copy of Speedrun Mod installed, and check other drives as this issue only occurs when Portal 2 and Speedrun Mod are installed on separate drives.
If the problem persists, you will get assistance much quicker by asking in the #technical-help channel of the P2SR discord server.
Thank You ThisAMJ, I didnt notice that i moved my portal to game to my drive, "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Portal 2\portal2" seemed to fix it! Thanks for telling me about "Browse Local Files" or i would of never known i put it in my drive! Thanks!
Issue seems resolved
keep on getting a unable to load manifest file error for the sound manifest file
