WeMod Application incapable of finding running game

[novel cosmos]

I have Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord running. When pressing "Play" on the App, it claims the app is not running. I correctly set the game exe.

Here, the game is shown in the tray, and next to it, WeMod incapable of finding it.

Launching the game via WeMod also leaves WeMod incapable, and crashes the game soon after starting it (without ever finding it in the app nor loading mods).

Hi! May I know where did you buy your game from?

[novel cosmos]

The website

[somber cloak]

Just to confirm, is your game cracked or pirated?

[novel cosmos]

No

[somber cloak]

I see. Could you please let us know which website you purchased your game from?

[somber cloak]

Gotcha. May I know which game source you linked the .exe file from?

[novel cosmos]

The Bannerlord.exe inside F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord

[somber cloak]

Got it. This time, drag the Bannerlord.exe file directly onto the Steam(game source) then try to launch the game initially and wait until you can freely navigate within the game world before opening the mods by clicking PLAY on the WeMod app If that doesn’t work, try launching the game first, and once you are on the main menu, open the mods by clicking PLAY again.

I did that, but it just says that it cannot find the game.

[somber cloak]

Apologies for the inconvenience. Are you starting the game via WeMod App by clicking Play?

[novel cosmos]

I tried that, but it did not find the game either.

[novel cosmos]

Hello?

[manic tree]

Sorry for butting in. But you mind confirming the source for the game i.e steam, xbox etc?

[novel cosmos]

It is Steam

[manic tree]

I feel like buying the game just to test this out

it's very peculiar to see this happen

I'm assuming you launched the game first

and then tried hitting the launch mods button

[novel cosmos]

Yes.

It does put that in the instructions too, so I made sure to follow them.

[manic tree]

Meh, I'll try seeing if I can get a copy and test it out

[novel cosmos]

The weird thing is that it can launch the game when pressing "Play" but it doesn't find the process.

[manic tree]

stupid question, but did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the game?

[novel cosmos]

I didn't, because it took a full week of nonstop downloading to install it in the first place 😭

[manic tree]

I feel bad for european ISPs
