Try downgrading with the old exe. DMC4SE 2019.zip

Edit: Not sure if you can use this exe directly before doing the "Downgrade Method" on the README.md.

I need help with launching DMC4SE game from my steam account, it keeps going off whenever I want to launch it, like once I clicked on 'Start' then the window just closes straight away before playing the game, is there a way to make it work again please?

Does the game crash even without the mod? Because if it is, that's a common issue for some users. Check out "temporary fix for start-up crash" on the game's Steam Discussion.

Also do you have a monitor/resolution that is above 1080p?

I tried that "temporary fix" and DDMK still doesn't work. Im having the same issues as him but my vanilla DMC4SE became playable after the temporary fix.

Have you installed DirectX End User Runtime Wenlb Installer, Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 x86 & x64? Those are quite required since the mod was compiled with Visual C++.

You also need to downgrade DMC4SE exe (then possibly do the temporary fix again since it uses old offset locations) and steam_api.dll to the old version.

Im sure I have downloaded both of the above since when I tried to download them my computer said already installed. Also whenever I try using downgraded exe (2015-2019) doing the temporary fix no longer makes the game launch. I can only do the temporary fix on the newest exe for DMC4SE.

The applypatch.bat also changes my DMC4SE exe and steam says exe not found when I try to launch it. Im going on vacation until Monday sorry if I can't respond

The applypatch.bat also changes my DMC4SE exe and steam says exe not found when I try to launch it.

That applypatch batch file was supposed to work before August 2023 update. Steam updated messed it up so that downgrade method doesn't work anymore.

What do you think I should do now then?

Backup the original exe and dll then replace the one from the zip file for the manual downgrade.

Thank you so much for your help but I just figured out what was wrong. Turns out for the newest exe for dmc 4 you need to go to offset 6790E7. However, for the 2019 exe the offset is actually different, it's 6964ac. I didn't read the article all the way through because I was getting frustrated but after I went to 6964ac ddmk works.

I just made a new downgrade method. Similarly uses the xdelta3 and apply_patch.bat but this is for the Aug 2023 update (the most recent as of the moment).

4SE downgrade 2023.zip

Instructions:

• Extract the contents of the archive to the DMC4SE game folder
• Run apply_patch.bat.
• Run the game and test DDMK/SuperTrainer.

You'll likely have to redo the hex edit method (older version) if you're experiencing start-up crashes.
