Hi, I am unable to launch mods after launching the game directly through steam for some reason. If the .exe is added it launches but directly from Ubisoft and it skips Steam.

i also get the "The game must be launched outside of Wand before pressing play" error whenever the game is already opened directly through Steam and i try to press play on Wand.

Reinstall
  1. Use Add or Remove Programs or Control Panel to uninstall Wand.
  2. Find and delete these folders:
    -C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Local\Wand
    -C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Roaming\Wand
  3. Restart your PC.
  4. Reinstall Wand by downloading from: https://wand.com/download

AV Exception

It's possible that your antivirus software is causing interference. Try whitelisting or adding exceptions for the following folders:

C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Wand
C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Wand

Did the reinstall part, still happening

#

i skipped over the AV one since I do not use an antivirus, not even Defender (fully uninstalled)

assuming theres some problem with Steam or something

#

worked fine today until Far Cry crashed and then it started doing this

#

tried reinstall Wand and Far Cry twice now, did not help

#

now i keep getting this when i click play on Steam, not through Wand

#

after removing the .exe from Wand

#

the game is running

#

also, not that big of an issue tbh but i play through Steam since im currently achievement hunting and i dont think it will sync achievements after playing directly through Ubisoft

i managed to fix it, was a user error. I switched to DX 9 today since thats what i found out was helping with minimizing crashes and after that it wasnt being recognized by Wand as a running game. Switched back to DX 11 rn and it mods are up and running 😃

sorry for wasting ur time, I appreciate ur help! Have a nice day ❤️
