So, I'm trying to launch Dreadmor with a bunch of sweet mods to really augment my playthrough, and I can't launch the game to even start enjoying it! What's going on? I launch Dreadmor from the Steam client and I get the normal launcher screen where I can launch the game, mods, or exit with all the resolution things. When I click either Mods or Launch, I get no activity whatsoever, even in the Task Manager. It's really frustrating. There's no error, no failure codes. Just nothing happens.
I am, but I hate doing it. Windstream claims there's a "High Latency" issue because they've got too many customers and not enough bandwidth, so my downloads chug along like I'm on old-school 256k or even dial-up. This also causes applications to download "successfully" then fail to launch. Supposed to be a 15 Mb connection!
Ouch, sorry to hear that. See if it works without any mods, and if it starts crashing with mods into it.
So, yeah, it's crashing if you try to load mods. Doesn't matter if you have them downloaded or not, you get the "Getting Steam Subscription Details" then it goes back to the Steam launcher. Playing normally works, but I'm not trying to play normally, I got hooked on Interior Dreadmorating and FaxPax...
Alright, I'll poke a dev about this Monday. I wonder if there's any info you can give to help figure out why it's happening to you, though. The only one I can think of: Does your windows username include any non-english characters?
By Windows, you mean OS? No. Upper and lower, same as the machine. Can I sideload mods into the Steam version, if I download them from a better connection?
Wait, can you clarify, these issues are all from subscribing to mods through the Steam Workshop, right? Yeah, try downloading them from the forums instead, see if it still crashes.
Yes, they are all from the Workshop. I can provide a list if you'd like? More Dred (Item Pack) Compleat Essential Skills FaxPax (0.9i: last updated 2/27) Knight of Cynishire Advanced Craft'n'Smelt Dungeon Life Dungeons of Equestria Android Rogue Mod Roguish Renovation Megapack v0.61 Interior Dredmorating 1.2.6.4
Yeah see if you can play with mods acquired from here, not with the workshop ones. You can find an installation guide if you need in the modding section.
So, yeah, sideloading mods per the instructions for a non-Steam version worked, though I had to create my own mods folder. Still, it's really weird that I can't get the workshop mods going as a normal instance...
That is definitely weird. I don't know if there's anything we can really do to figure out why it doesn't work for you either.
