Trying to use new nightreigns freereign mod but i cant open / launch it . idk what else to do, i been trying on my own for 2 hours- feel kinda slow . Im uninstalling and reinstalling to startover because ive been through one too many processes and downloads at this point. lease helpp

#

i did watch the whole uxm video but the uxm.exe file never showed for me

tame sinew
#

what is "the uxm video"

#

uxm is very straightforward to use

#

the mod's install instructions are quite clear as well

#

oh, the uxm link is dead now I guess

#

get it here instead

#

other than that idk

#

could be your antivirus not liking the exe or something

maiden horizon
#

@tame sinew ive downloaded disable anticheat other loaders , ersc launcher, and the uxm files. i just am lookin for a way to launch the mod is all

#

i dont understand the whole process i downaloaded the mod and have it in the game files bur cant lunch it. i dragged my files to nsrc launcher and it launched but didnt load the mod

tame sinew
#

you're doing a lot of unnecessary stuff and that's probably why it doesn't work

#

you can't expect to just try random things and have it work

#

undo everything and follow just the mod's instructions

#

I would start from a completely clean game install to be sure

#

I can guarantee those instructions work 100%

maiden horizon
#

thats where im at rn , the game just finsihed installing and i removed all the extra files . whats your prefernce for loading th mod?

tame sinew
#

I mean, my preference would be using me3, but that's gonna be more complicated for you since the mod doesn't offer an me3 profile. also me3 is still work in progress and maybe not 100% reliable yet

#

so really just do it the way the mod instructions tell you

#

unpack+patch with uxm, copy the mod files to the install folder and overwrite, copy the steamappid file as well to bypass the anticheat

#

and then just run the game normally, either through the exe or steam

#

that's all

maiden horizon
#

thanks , i got the uxm working with the link you sent . i going to do the next steps and ill lyk if i need help again. really appeciate you tfor your patience tho, thank you

maiden horizon
#

whats the install folder?

#

i did everything up to that point

tame sinew
#

(right click on game in steam library)

maiden horizon
#

i put it in the game files now and loaded the game normally but the mod still wasnt in place

#

i also disabled eac

tame sinew
#

when you copied files to game folder

#

were you asked to overwrite

maiden horizon
#

i wasnt

tame sinew
#

then you did something wrong

#

you probably copied the containing folder

#

specifically the folder named "mod"

#

the reason we unpack the game files is so that we can replace them with the mod's files

#

the files inside the "mod" folder have the same structure as the unpacked files

#

if you copy the whole containing folder, then you're not replacing anything

maiden horizon
#

that makes sense, i did copy the folder . iill try dragging those files and launching through their cersion f steamappid

maiden horizon
#

sorry for the lag i uninstalled, do i drag those 4 folders or the files from each of them?

tame sinew
#

you didn't need to uninstall fatcat but yes the folders are fine

#

if you're asked to overwrite files you did it right

maiden horizon
#

my last question tho, is there a way to only apply the mod to co op?

#

im assuming to just restore , before returning to base game

tame sinew
#

best way is to restore just the executable

#

restoring with uxm will also delete the unpacked files which is not necessary

#

so either make a backup of the original nightreign.exe beforehand, or verify files on steam

#

until me3 supports seamless coop, this is the only way

maiden horizon
#

its working now and its awesome but i launched through co-op will the original game stil work when anti cheat is enabled?

#

oh wait i can verify on steam and it will restore the game?

tame sinew
#

if you didn't do any unnecessary things, the only thing that should be changed from vanilla is the game exe

#

the added unpacked files are irrelevant, the game ignores those when the exe is restored
