Hey, I'm using r2modman as a mod manager, as suggested here in the server. I installed a few mods for Silksong (Steam) through it today. I wanted to start the modded version (not the vanilla one) of the game, which did work but I can't see any mods in game. I checked BepInEx and it gave me multiple error messages.
They were: "Couldn't find a Game Manager, make sure one exists in the scene."; "Couldn't find a UIManager, ..."; "Couldn't find GameCameras, ..."; "Unable to start Unity log writer."
I tried to do research to find out what the issue here is but I couldn't find much on that. I tried what I found out but it didn't solve the issue.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue / can anyone help me on this?
I would appreciate it a lot, thanks in advance :)

I also have the text of the LogOutput file (as said in https://discord.com/channels/879125729936298015/1427768998187110492) if someone needs it. I'm unsure if there's any sensitive data in that so I didn't post it right away
These are all the error messages copied out of the file

Bepinex Console
If you can see the Bepinex console at all, then your game is modded. Be aware that Red Text in the console doesn't mean that anything is wrong, it just means that you can see error codes that you couldn't see before the game was modded.

If the console shows that they loaded, then yes.
I'm not sure what you're expecting to "see" in game
If you didn't install {{Silksong configuration manager}} or {{modmenu}} then you won't have a way to see configuration settings for them

To see the mods I installed working (I installed a teleport mod for example)

Did you check to see how to use the mod that you installed?
{{modlist}} should also show you which mods are loaded, for future reference

I actually did not, I'll take a look at it
Could it also be that installing too many mods makes them being in conflict with eachother or anything like that?

Thank you :)

There's not much else that can be said without you posting your log output file
So if you do need more help, be sure to post that 👍

If you can see the Bepinex console at all, then your game is ...
this one
I guess I was just very confused by the red error messages
