Doesn't launch game

[Wolf1030]

Since you closed my ticket even though it wasn't resolved.

You said to place the files in the main folder with the eldenring.exe and I did, here's a screenshot, it doesn't work.

Since you also said:

The TOML file doesn't contain game paths, There's currently only 2 mechanisms for finding the game exe (and folder):

Find an executable named adjacent to modengine2_launcher.exe

Sorry to say, but it does not. https://puu.sh/ITM7j/c9881f74e3.png

are you a notebook user?cause I cannot launch game with the .bat file on my notebook，and I have no idea what is going on 🤔

nope. The other suggestion is to run the modmanager.exe if the bat isn't working, but both do not work for me. The "other" suggestion is to place all the files in the game's main folder then try to run either the .bat or .exe which this method doesnt work for me either.

[Wolf1030]

Alright, I feel dumb, but just to still give some info.

Normal launch of bat and exe did nothing. Run as Admin bat did nothing, but run as Admin on the exe did.

Still something to look into regardless as to the bat isn't working.

feel free to close it now.

Well here is the promble, while I lauch the game with .bat I can see that the game is lauched in my task manager. However,the game quit next moment. And here's the log

@Wolf1030 So the fix to this is to have steam launched before launching the .bat file.

[lhasxl]

i have the same problem exe does nothing as an admin nor the bat file

[legalizetren]

doesnt work just auto closes, opening it with cmd says [2022-04-17 19:14:19.907] [stderr] [error] Couldn't create process: 10b

[F-annaray]

Sadly I have the same issue with Elden ring in W11. 1) extracted Preview Modengine 2 to it s own main folder 2) Steam is activated, game is not 3) D click as admin on launchmod_eldenring.bat (activates w11 warning which is ignored, happened only 1st try) nothing happens. 4) Then D click on modengine2_launcher.exe (activates w11 warning which is ignored, happened only 1st try) nothing happens. 5) Tried a couple of times to no avail. 5) Rebooted W11 and tried again, no luck

What next can I do? Maybe not standard is that all my steam games are installed by Steam on a different drive and not on the steam default folder on the C drive.

Since you closed my ticket even though it wasn't resolved.

You said to place the files in the main folder with the eldenring.exe and I did, here's a screenshot, it doesn't work.

Since you also said:

The TOML file doesn't contain game paths, There's currently only 2 mechanisms for finding the game exe (and folder):

Find an executable named adjacent to modengine2_launcher.exe

Sorry to say, but it does not. https://puu.sh/ITM7j/c9881f74e3.png

Hey sorry to bother you but it looks like you have a cracked version if im right.. i do so too. How did you managed to run mod engine on cracked version? i cant make it work whatever i do.

[F-annaray]

" Hey sorry to bother you but it looks like you have a cracked version if im right.. i do so too. How did you managed to run mod engine on cracked version? i cant make it work whatever i do." The answer is easy, I have a genuine version, paid for, not cracked Cheers A.

Literally all you need to do is extract the zip on here directly to your game folder. So like in OP's image, you'll see eldenring.exe and modengine2_launcher.exe in same folder. Do not run the bat file, rather the launcher.exe

Didn't work :(

[F-annaray]

thx for yr personal attention.! :) I can run the game as admin with the new bat file I extracted the mod HoarahLouxTrio.rar or LetMeSoloHerGuy.rar in the mod folder of the mod engine 2 as instructed by its readme file. ( one or the other, not both.) In game it should replace the lone wolf ashes, but both of them did not. I got the original wolves What can i do?

High regards :) Kyrill

Same problem as OP.

modengine2_launcher.exe fails to launch the game even when in the game folder next to eldenring.exe, the method to launch it through Steam also doesn't work (by nenaming modengine2_launcher.exe to start_protected_game.exe).

Only way I got to launch the game through steam, was by creating my own custom executable to launch modengine2_launcher.exe with the same parameters as the bat file.
