I added the shortcut direct from the Desktop. So add game, add non steam game, browse, desktop, 7d2dModLauncher and then it says a whole ton of stuff after that. The full filepath is C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Installer\ then a bunch of numbers and letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should find another exe in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you @sphereii it was under Program Files as you said in SphereII Software. The troubleshooting guide says to add the one off the desktop. It may be useful to update it to say use the program files pathway. Thanks a ton! Love your work and dedication to make this community awesome!

Lux-kitten Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 can someone tell me how to fix this. i'm trying to play darkness falls, i've uninstalled the game from steam and reinstalled it and then i've downloaded and deleted the mods twice and i just keep getting this error and i just don't know how to fix it. 'Application folder: C:/Program_Files_(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/7_Days_To_Die/Alpha19/Darkness_Falls/Darkness_Falls There should be '7DaysToDie_Data' folder next to the executable' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change that path to something like C:\7D2D. You are installing it under Program Files now, and that will cause issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it the way you said and it worked all the way up until loading the world. then it just closed for no reason and now everytime i try to play mod it has a new error that says unhandled exception has occured in your application. i can either click continue or quit, i pressed continue and nothing happened. it also says 'the requested opertation cannot be preformed on a file with a user-mapped section open' no idea what any of this means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to reboot to clear it. After that, start up the mod launcher, select the mod, and click on Log Files. That'll take you to a screen where you can upload the two log files to pastebin.com. Send me the links and I can look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkness Falls is pretty heavy on the resources. Would you be able to try to create the smallest world possible, and see if you load in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could whitelist the install folder (D:\7D2D in your case), you might be able to prevent that from happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with slower internet, and slightly unstable internet, is causing disconnects. Mods hosted on Azure and Github are not experiencing this issue.
