This preview is to test the new UI and profile system
With all that out of the way, here it is (Linux build will come later today). Thank you for your patience! And a special thank you to everyone who supported me on Ko-fi!
Potential fix for recent crashes (for version 1.2.1.0) Should you see something like this: JsonReaderException: '0x00' is an invalid start of a value. LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 0. in your log file. This means that one of your mod manifest.json files is completely empty. I'm currently still looking for the cause.
To solve this You go to %localappdata%\Helldivers2ModManager\Mods and go through your mods manifest files and find the ones that are empty. You then just delete the respective mods folders.
NOTE: Your paths may vary based on your settings. This example uses the default paths.
I was doing some mod updates and had a crash in HD2MM when deleting an old mod. When this happened, the old mod was gone from the shown list but a updated mod couldn't be added. (wouldn't show up on list when added.) Deleting mod from (above) dir allows for the mod to be added to hd2mm again.
I'm getting this even with no mods installed. I have uninstalled the launcher and the game multiple times and the launcher will not open past the initial logo.
Copying the creator's latest announcement from the modding Discord:
"Potential fix for recent crashes A lot of crashes have occurred with the recent version of the manager (1.2.0.1), which has been experiencing many crashes that have been happening with the recent version of the manager (1.2.0.1).
One of the potential causes has been discovered!
Should you see something like this: DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\Temp\Helldivers2ModManager\<Mod Name>\<image>.png|.jpg|ect in your log file this could be the cause. Currently there is a bug that causes the manager to write an absolute path to an icon into the manifest during the adding process. To solve thisYou go to %localappdata%\Helldivers2ModManager\<Mod Name> and open the file called manifest.json. In there you delete the part "IconPath": "<image>.png|.jpg|ect" also remove the comma (,) after it.This issue only happens with mods that do not supply a manifest. NOTE: You're paths may vary based on your settings. This example uses the default paths."
Mod manager isn't working for me, I open it and the logo shows up but then nothing happens, it just closes. According to logs it's an "unhandled exception": "InvalidOperationException: The requested operation requires an element of type 'Array', but the target element has type 'Null'."
I am seeing no file path to anything I can delete. I am able to open to open the 2.0 preview, but it keeps bugging and is unable to display many mods as it just whites out half the list with particular ones. And I am unable to use the 1.0 because it won't open. Please help!
Getting the exact same error on my end where it just closes again after the logo. HD2 also won't run and gives me the crash message so I'm sort of boned here until we get a new update for this because I don't know how else to uninstall my mods
Anyone else having trouble adding mods? I deleted a mod to update it and I select the zip like usual and MM will show the adding bar but then it won't show up in the mod list, just tried adding another mod and the same thing.
Edit: I added an older mod and it worked and added to the mod list. I closed HD2MM and just tried to open it again and now it won't even load to show the interface.
I have this bug where some of my mods are covered by a gray box like thing and i act see, or use them, and if i move a mod into the gray void i cant use it. I tried closing the app and even reset my pc, I don't know how to fix this.
When setting up the preview version for windows should I still create the "storage" and "temp files like the old how to install video says or is that not needed?
the first version of the mod manager V1 was incredible nice, this V2 version is AWFUL, who in his sane mind imagined to add the mods dragging them from the "library" it is terrible. also my list of mods being used does not save after opening the software again.
has anyone else had an issue where the 1.2 stopped opening suddenly? it opened a few days ago but it doesnt anymore it shows logo and then it dissapears, I tried redownloading it but no fix.
Yeah, I downloaded it yesterday, worked fine. I shut down my computer and went to bed. Wake up today and go to open the manager, it justrefuses to open at all.
That can happen if you install a mod with a bad/incompatible manifest file. Try deleting the latest mods you added, from the mod staging folder (I think it's in AppData\Local\hd2mm by default)
i just had this issue. but you can find the solution in the Logs folder
find the logs folder(it should be with the .exe it self), and open the latest log and then find when it crashes
EX: I had an "unhandled exception error", it couldn't read a mod i had, it told me the exact file it couldn't access, so copied the path and just deleted the mod. works flawlessly now.
