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/.
#olympus install not working

you could also send the log-sharp.txt in C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Olympus\
mmm it's the hookgen error
do you know where your celeste is installed
can you get miniinstaller-log.txt from there
i can find it
mm
just as i thought
you could try the steps here: https://everestapi.github.io/#cross-platform-manual-installation
except instead of just double clicking MiniInstaller.exe you should shift+right click into the folder, click "Open PowerShell prompt here" and typing in .\MiniInstaller.exe
this should give the full log, and if that still doesn't show the error then i have no clue what's going on
precisely 
i think ik what's going on
- verify your game files through steam
- go to where your celeste is installed, you'll need to delete some files:
- files that start with...
Celeste.Mod.mmMiniInstallerMono.CecilMonoModNETCoreifier
- the file
MMHOOK_Celeste.dll
- files that start with...
- install everest stable
4351again (do NOT install4352; that version does not actually exist)
cc @alpine prism @distant vale i think this is the cause behind all those sudden hookgen crashes when installing everest
also cc @digital turret
it installed
technical info; the leftover files from when you tried to install core everest were built with a newer version of c# (.net core 7), and the stable everest is made with the version celeste was made in (.net framework 4.5.2)
the leftover core files threw the stable installer off and crashed it when trying to install stable everest
this is what i want right?
olympus is in %appdata%\Olympus
but
what was the issue again, opens, stays on a white screen and then it closes?
okay so, there's a bunch of log files it leaves behind
they're in %localappdata%\Olympus (that's a different location)
could you send the log.txt and log-sharp.txt?
yes

that would be why
try deleting it
delete log-sharp.txt for good measure too, it's basically empty
then try opening olympus
hm, did it make any new log files?
yeah
but log.txt is emptyu
also upload failed?
yep
does it work?
no
i have one last ditch effort
so, open %appdata%\Olympus
this is where olympus is installed
yes
shift+right click, open powershell prompt and type in .\main.exe --console
what does it say
i shift+right click the entire file?
uhh anywhere in the folder
it did stop
any ideas?
looking through olympus source atm
alr
huh, will keep in mind
from what i gathered it seems to be crashing when trying to find steam game shortcuts
so in needa make one?
yes
what's in it
probably
try running olympus now
try this again, does it do the same thing
yep
.
well yes, i mean the powershell thing
same thing
ends in steam root <...>?
yep
hm
yeah f
hm
or wait no, i'm misreading this
you can delete the empty config folder you made
go to the folder with a bunch of numbers instead
is there a config folder?
yeppers
nope
okay so that'll skip a bunch of things
hm, i'm still not sure why it just stops suddenly
me either
it's getting sorta late atm so i'll look into this later probably
meanwhile you'll have to install mods manually by putting them in your Mods folder where your celeste is installed

pretty sure i still have a bunch
they'll still be installed if you didn't mess with them for a while
sick
sooooooooooooooooo...
