zEdit won't launch from MO2 #284

Open draecat opened 2 years ago

draecat commented 2 years ago

Hey,

I'm running into an issue where zEdit (tried both 0.6.6.1 and 0.6.5) is either not launching from MO2 or crashing within ~30s of launching. It works fine when opened outside of MO2. Any other executable I've tried to run through MO2 (2.4.4) seems to be working fine (xEdit, LOOT, Skyrim SE, etc). Windows 11 22000.832, non-insider build. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Never mind, it looks like it was BitDefender's Advanced Threat Defense. Oddly enough, it never tells that either zedit or MO2 got blocked, but so far it looks like that disabling ATD or setting mo.exe and zedit.exe as exceptions can solve the issue. Even more oddly, this only happens on Win11. I have another system with bitdefender running on Win10, no issues running zedit through MO2. Hope this helps if you ever run into a similar issue.
