Troubleshooting
Known issues
- The game can crash at launch. This is probably an issue with UE4SS, I can't fix it.
- The game can freeze/crash/hang when you use the mod. Please make a backup before using it.
- When you press F4 multiple time to snap an object, the object must stay on the same point on the grid. But sometime it move on another point. This is a bug.
Logging
You can see the logs in UE4SS.log or in the UE4SS GUI Console.
You can enable the UE4SS GUI Console in UE4SS-settings.ini in the [Debug] section.
Miscellaneous
If you want to see an example, you can download my save in FILES > Miscellaneous files.
Note that in this save I use the Junction Box mod. I use the black and red junction box to store one resource.
