I cant open olympus and idk why

quick sailBOT

For some users, Olympus freezes on a white or black screen on startup for unknown reasons. You can attempt the following fixes:
-If you have a third party antivirus, check if it's blocking/quarantining Olympus.
-Restart your PC.
-Delete and reinstall Olympus.
If none of those work, no fix for this is currently known and you have to use one of the following alternate installation methods:
-On Windows, the old graphical Everest installer is available at https://gamebanana.com/dl/430740.
-Mons (https://github.com/coloursofnoise/mons/) is a command line based cross-platform installer that is similarly powerful to Olympus. However, it requires some base familiarity with the command line.
-Alternatively, you can use the manual installation method described under "Cross-platform manual installation" at https://everestapi.github.io/.

dusky fjord

ocean tusk
#

dusky fjord
#

ocean tusk
dusky fjord
#

System.BadImageFormatException: Format of the executable (.exe) or library (.dll) is invalid.
validate your game files through Steam, then try again

ocean tusk
#

tried that a couple of time but still same error

dusky fjord
#

uh thonkeline delete the orig folder and validate?

ocean tusk
#

still error

#

i deleted the orig floder in celste forder

#

it had another celeste folder in it

dusky fjord
#

you're still getting an invalid exe file error?

ocean tusk
#

yea

dusky fjord
#

even after deleting orig and verifying game files?

ocean tusk
#

or wait ill double check

#

yea still the invalid file error

dusky fjord
ocean tusk
#

wait what

#

the orig file is back

dusky fjord
#

yeah, it's generated by the installer as a backup of the vanilla Celeste.exe

ocean tusk
#

oh

dusky fjord
#

Running MonoMod for C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Celeste\orig\Celeste.exe
that still says it's using the orig exe

ocean tusk
#

huh

dusky fjord
ocean tusk
#

it still says its using orig

#

it creates the file after i launch the installer

dusky fjord
#

can you dm me the Celeste.exe file?

ocean tusk
#

yea

dusky fjord
#

the file doesn't seem like it has any issues thonkeline maybe this is a new issue with the old installer

#

can you try the cross-platform manual install method?

ocean tusk
dusky fjord
#

yes

ocean tusk
#

wait so how do i open it if its a zip

dusky fjord
#

what do you mean?

ocean tusk
#

it comes as a zip

dusky fjord
#

Not EverInst laugheline that's for Linux

ocean tusk
#

ohlol

#

so which one do i download now

dusky fjord
ocean tusk
#

im stuck on this screen after i dropped the stable branch zip into the olympus file

dusky fjord
ocean tusk
#

ok so i followed the instructions, im not quite sure if i understood it right but i need to drop the main file into here right?

#

into the Celeste folder

dusky fjord
#

The contents of main.zip need to go there

ocean tusk
#

so it should look like that

dusky fjord
#

Sorry, the contents of the folder need to be in the Celeste folder. So Celeste.Mod.mm.dll should be next to Celeste.exe

ocean tusk
#

oh ok

#

wait i already have all of these files there

#

should i replace them

dusky fjord
#

Yes

ocean tusk
#

so how do i move it next to celeste exe

dusky fjord
#

That is in the correct place

ocean tusk
#

ok

#

error again

#

i cant send the installer log for some reason

#

nvm

hollow pilot
#

I don't think you're following the cross-platform instructions

#

those are telling you to run MiniInstaller.exe, not Everest Installer

ocean tusk
#

i am following that

hollow pilot
ocean tusk
#

idk

hollow pilot
#

this is a screenshot of the everest installer

#

not MiniInstaller

ocean tusk
#

i dont see any of the instructions telling me to use it and idk how to instal it

hollow pilot
#

if you extracted the zip, it should be in your celeste folder

ocean tusk
#

isnt that for linux?

#

oh nvm

hollow pilot
#

most of it is intructions for how to run MiniInstaller.exe on mac/linux because .exe is a windows format

#

on windows you just double click the file

ocean tusk
#

wait so where is the download for MiniInstaller

hollow pilot
#

it should already be in your celeste folder

ocean tusk
#

ohh

#

when i open it it just closes after like 5s

hollow pilot
#

try starting celeste

ocean tusk
#

ok its working now

#

whats a terminal window

dusky fjord
#

Among other things, the window that pops up when you run MiniInstaller

ocean tusk
dusky fjord
#

Correct

ocean tusk
#

and what does that mean?

dusky fjord
#

Those instructions are for Linux, you've already run miniinstaller

ocean tusk
#

ah

#

do i still need to enter the command?

dusky fjord
#

No, you've already run MiniInstaller

ocean tusk
#

its not doing anything tho

#

it just stays at the terminal screen

dusky fjord
#

What does it say?

ocean tusk
dusky fjord
#

Is Celeste open?

ocean tusk
#

yea

#

its on the main screen

dusky fjord
#

Close it

ocean tusk
#

the terminal closed and it seems like nothing is happening

dusky fjord
#

What displayed on the terminal before it closed?

ocean tusk
dusky fjord
#

Anything else?

ocean tusk
#

nope

dusky fjord
#

Is there a miniinstaller-log.txt file?

ocean tusk
#

yes

dusky fjord
#

Upload that

ocean tusk
dusky fjord
#

Format of the executable (.exe) or library (.dll) is invalid.
Somehow your Celeste install is just cursed maddyS

hollow pilot
#

try the following (do all the steps in order):
-delete the orig folder
-verify game files on steam
-follow the complete everest install instructions again

ocean tusk
#

ok

dusky fjord
#

What does "More Info" say?

ocean tusk
#

oh i can run it anyway

#

when i click it

#

ok so i think the terminal wrote 1 more line than before and then closed

hollow pilot
#

what did you do after verifying game files

ocean tusk
#

installed the main again, replaced the old files from the celeste folder and ran miniinstaller

hollow pilot
#

can you share miniinstaller-log again?

ocean tusk
dusky fjord
#

Can you send a screenshot of what you're doing to verify the game files?

hollow pilot
#

hmm idk your PC is haunted

ocean tusk
#

i started the installer again before that btw

ocean tusk
#

its in german btw

#

the bottom one
