Your BepInEx log file can be found in Subnautica/BepInEx or SubnauticaZero/BepInEx depending on the game you're trying to mod. Once you've found the log file, you can just drag it into Discord to send it.

[quaint bluff]

im just trying to play modded sub but not a single mod is working

[copper prairie]

Yeah, i understand

We should be able to help you if you provide us with a log

[quaint bluff]

lemme screenshot one min

[copper prairie]

Its a long file

[quaint bluff]

would it be a json file?

[copper prairie]

Nope, its a .log file

[copper prairie]

See this

[quaint bluff]

i dont see a log output one

[copper prairie]

Huh
Try updating BepInEx first
https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1108

[quaint bluff]

i see config, core, plugins, patchers, deployment

alr

[copper prairie]

There has been a security patch for subnautica not so long ago, that broke a bunch of mods and also removed the branches

[quaint bluff]

still nothing but now its also saying in vortex deployment not possible

;w;

[copper prairie]

Maybe lets try not to use vortex atm? Lets try manual first, vortex then

[quaint bluff]

alr

ran it through steam, nuthin

it at all possible to hop in a vc or sumthin to screenshare?

[copper prairie]

No not really, sorry

[quaint bluff]

ffffffaq

[copper prairie]

How did you install it?

[quaint bluff]

through vortex at first, then i tried rearranging the bepinex folder into subnautica data, tried numerous stuffs

[copper prairie]

Subnautica data? Like something named Subnautica_Data?

[quaint bluff]

yeah

[copper prairie]

You have to put the contents into just the subnautica folder

[quaint bluff]

ik but i was just trying everything at that point, including that

[copper prairie]

Well first lets start with that

We have to get BepInEx to work first

[quaint bluff]

put bepin in the way you said and ran it, still nada

[copper prairie]

You dont see any logs?

[quaint bluff]

nope

[copper prairie]

Weird
Can you screenshot your subnautica folder, please?

[quaint bluff]

Have to use my phone for screenshots since my f12 barely works

[copper prairie]

This looks good
And can you please screenshot whats inside the BepInEx folder?

[quaint bluff]

yeah one sec

[copper prairie]

12/09? Are you sure that you have reinstalled BepInEx?

[quaint bluff]

ive done it 3-6 different times

ive lost track after the second reinstall

[copper prairie]

Alright, i will believe you by your words
Have you tried checking for file integrity in steam?

[quaint bluff]

yep, ran that already and everything was good

ive done every single thing my friends and google has throw at me

even youtube cant help ;w;

[copper prairie]

Alright crap that looks like a hard one 😭
Have you turned off your computer between days?

[quaint bluff]

yeah i turn it off every night when i sleep

[copper prairie]

So steam is not the issue, alright

Can i look into /core, please?

[quaint bluff]

like i said, this only started when i factory reset my pc cause my auido drivers f'ed up

[copper prairie]

Oooooohhhhh

Oh noooooo

THIS is what you should have

[quaint bluff]

that dont sound good

.....oh

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[copper prairie]

Most likely, windows blocked a bunch of dlls when trying to launch BepInEx

What drive is your subnautica installment on?

[quaint bluff]

uuuuuuuh whatcha mean by drive

[copper prairie]

Like C: or D:

[quaint bluff]

how does one check

[copper prairie]

Its usually in the path

[quaint bluff]

im not used to digging in files and such

c

[copper prairie]

Or when you left click it

[quaint bluff]

its C

[copper prairie]

Mhm
Is it possible to move your game to another drive? If you have any

[quaint bluff]

i dont have any others ;w;

[copper prairie]

Alright then. Are you alright with adding subnautica to the list of exclusions for your antivirus?

[quaint bluff]

yeah, not sure how to do that tho

[copper prairie]

Its not that hard, give me a second

[quaint bluff]

alr

[copper prairie]

https://geekrewind.com/how-to-add-microsoft-defender-exclusions-on-windows-11/
Alright, this should help
Just add the subnautica folder into the exclusions list and reinstall BepInEx

Geek Rewind (@[e-mail])

The article provides step-by-step instructions on adding exclusions...

This article explains adding an exclusion to Microsoft Defender on Windows 11.

Microsoft Defender (formerly Windows Defender) will scan your computer files for viruses and malware. If you’re performing specific tasks or running virtual machines, you may want to exclude specific files and folder areas so that Microsoft Defender does not scan these.

Exclusions may help improve the system’s performance; however, be cautious with this feature, as Microsoft Defender won’t scan your excluded files and directories for malware. If these excluded directories are compromised, there won’t be any detection, and your computer might be vulnerable to threats.

On the other hand, you wouldn’t want to scan all files and directories. Microsoft Defender has built-in exclusions to improve the system’s performance. You can do the same if Microsoft Defender impacts specific tasks or application scans.

How to add exclusions to Microsoft Defender on Windows 11
As mentioned above, on…

[copper prairie]

Remember that there was an update, so you will have to update probably all your mods

[quaint bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/man-im-dead-man-im-alive-man-im-gif-13299840208787368549

[copper prairie]

If you want you can send me your modpack rq and i will check what mods were updated

Or your log, which might help more with that, since it also tells me the mod version

[quaint bluff]

for right now i only really got return of the ancients, cause since it has its own unique menu that tells me if mods are working right away instead of booting up a save

[copper prairie]

Architects library and RotA were updated
https://github.com/ArchitectsOfTheUnknown/ReturnOfTheAncientsDemo/blob/main/return-of-the-ancients.md
https://github.com/ArchitectsOfTheUnknown/ReturnOfTheAncientsDemo/blob/main/architects-library.md

[quaint bluff]

YAY

[copper prairie]

Yeeeeee!!!!!

Alright, what else do we have?

[quaint bluff]

[copper prairie]

Yeah, sure

[quaint bluff]

[copper prairie]

Im used to big modpacks

[quaint bluff]

[copper prairie]

Yeah, for the log to update

It does show me that you have update RotA and AL, but nothing else atm

[quaint bluff]

And that should hopefully be all

[quaint bluff]

thats a lot to update 0-0

[copper prairie]

Yeah, mods tend to do that when subnautica updates
Im honestly a bit surprised as to how many of them managed to update by now

[quaint bluff]

well time to spend the next half hour updating lol

[copper prairie]

Lmao yep, good luck with that and happy playing!!!!!
I will head off now, if you have any more issues - feel free to ping any other mod support
