Mod Manager [Updated 25/04/14]

[Optio82]

WHy does my download of Mod Manager keep asking me to find the Empire.Exe?

[Man of West Gondor]

I'm loading my mods with mod loader, and for some reason the units on the battlefield clothes are colored all pink. What is going on?

[ProfJingles]

Please someone add some persistence to the path config. As I have a none standard installation path dumbass Mod Loader asks me to point him to the TWR2 folder each and every time

[CsDarKnight]

When I try to launch with Mod Manager, my computer says Rome 2 has stopped working and goes to black screen. Any solutions yet?

[triptyck]

aw man. i wish i hadn't pressed FIX ANY PROBLEMS. before, i could sort and toggle all packs, now it only shows MOD format packs.

any way to revert?

[unto_the_locust]

whenever i try to start the mod manager it shows me this The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) am i the only one with this problem

[Tradero]

Please tell me what the problem is. Someone in this thread already said something about it, but I was unable to find a solution.

When I launch the manager it says the following:

I am unable to manually locate the exe of rome 2 when I press continue, and nothing (no mods, nothing) shows up in the manager,
It may be I am missing something really obvious but I have really searched for a solution for this, with no success.
I am running win8 64bit. Sorry for bad english.

Use the tick boxes on the right to control what packs are shown.

000007b is a INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT exception, meaning one of your .NET framework files is corrupted.

Reinstall the .NET framework, preferably .NET4.0 or later.

Can you confirm that that path the error is showing exists? i.e.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II\data"

If not put a file called dir.txt next to the exe and in the file put your path to the Rome2 exe in there. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II

Others have expressed problems with Windows 8, so it may be something to do with that. As I don't have W8 I have no way of testing this unfortunately.

Cant get this to work, I know it does work as when installed to C drive it was fine, however moved to ssd drive now whatever i try get 'Unhandled exception'
Could not find a part of the path C:\Program Files. Frustrating!

This might be my problem also. I have my os on my c drive an ssd. Rome 2 is on a raid 0 drive array.

Having it installed on a separate hard drive might be the problem.

Just an FYI Leitchy30 messaged me saying this fix worked for him:

"put a file called dir.txt next to the exe and in the file put your path to the Rome2 exe in there. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II"

Oh my, can someone please answer this question that multiple people have posted asking (maybe I'm insane or have glossed over an answer somewhere but I'll reiterate the question here anyway); Must we use the Mod Manager to launch the game every time for the mods to work? Or can we just do it once, and then launch normally through steam every other time? Or must we create a save game after launching with the mod manager first and then we can launch normally? etc., etc. Please answer if you could, thanks very much.

Didn't solve the issue I bet its on my end. I'll try to figure it out myself and if I find a solution I will post it here

Launch once via mod manager, the manager creates the neccessary scripts, you can then launch via Steam, the scripts will be there to activate the mods forever, at least until you launch the game via mod manager again with different or no mods or remove them manually.

my mod is located here:

or did I do something wrong?

[Skiller4gods]

I am sorry if this was written before but how do you add mods to the mod manager? I extracted it and opened it but I can't find a way to add mods to it please help.

[Skiller4gods]

Never mind figured it out.
