Im getting a new problem, I was trying to use mods, and every mod on subnautica just stopped working. I tried to delete everything (subnautica and bepinex) and I was trying to test to see if the configuration manager would work, but nothing is working. Can you help? Maybe this would be an explanation: [Info : Unity Log] AddressablesUtility.LoadSceneAsync loading scene: StartScreen in mode Single [Info : Unity Log] Initializing Steam services [Warning: Unity Log] Missing Steam DRM [Warning: Unity Log] Couldn't initialize Steamworks [Info : Unity Log] OnQuit behaviour queued for deferred registering, platform services aren't initialized.

Those errors indicate you're trying to use a mod on the wrong version of the game. For example, a mod designed for the latest stable branch on legacy, or vice versa. Or perhaps you're on the experimental branch, or some random pirated version of the game.
Been away for a while, found that the launch console was turned off a couple of updates ago. Is there a way to turn it back on? Have a mod that used to work not working anymore, and wondering if the console will show me any warnings.
toebeann I just want to say thank you very much for your work and for the fact that thanks to you people all over the planet can make and use mods for this wonderful game. Thank you. I have more than 80 mods installed and they are all (almost :-) ) very friendly with each other. Yes, of course, I spent about a week setting everything up and checking it out - but I ended up with an excellent selection of mods and it’s all thanks to you! And please ignore the dissatisfied fools who lack the ability to even read simple installation instructions. Thank you again and remember that hundreds of thousands of people in the world are grateful to you and all the moderators who give us the opportunity to gain new experience and pleasure from games!
my god this is absolutely annoying. ive tryed to install this through the votex mod manager and manually and the decirption is just not very clear. idk why it has to be difacult for vortex to intall this mod as its litterly just slap and go with every other game i play. it makes me just want to uninstall the game and play something else everytime i want to update something. in case it matters vortex just wont depoly the mod and i cant get the cmd to pull up for the manual install since the file pack doesnt seem to have and exe in it to install like qmod did. if i could rate this mod its would be 1 star just for the diffaculty.
I'm terribly sorry that the free content I make is too difficult for you to use. If you like, I can relieve you of that burden.
However, it really shouldn't be difficult like that. It sounds like your Vortex may just be misconfigured somehow (probably not your fault). For help with that, you could join the Subnautica Modding discord server (linked at the top of this page), and the people there can try and help you with it. Or, you can suffer in silence for years and then throw a tantrum complaining about something which could easily have been solved if you had just asked for help at any point prior, blaming a mod for an issue you're experiencing with a separate application.
Sometimes when Vortex won't deploy it's because you have manually deleted folders that it expects to exist while it is running, e.g. the QMods folder, or the BepInEx/plugins folder. To fix that you just restart Vortex. This is just how Vortex works, and has nothing to do with this pack. If that's not the issue you're having, then yeah, I would reach out to the Subnautica Modding discord server, or Nexus Mods staff.
The manual install for the pack is really easy, though. You just download the .zip, open it, and put everything in the game folder. That's really all there is to it for Windows users. If that's too difficult for you, I don't know what to tell you.
But it sounds like you might just be getting confused and thinking it's not working if you're expecting to see a console window pop up. It used to - in earlier versions of this pack - but it was disabled by default in the latest release as it was discovered that the console window can cause performance issues if there are lots of log messages coming at once from mods misbehaving or bugging out, so now the console window is opt-in. It's mainly only useful for developers anyways, and users kept getting confused by it. This change was documented in the changelogs, which can be viewed on the description tab.
So, with the console window disabled, you can instead check that it is working by looking at the BepInEx/LogOutput.log file. If it is getting generated every time you run the game, then BepInEx is working. The contents of that file are the same as what you would see in the console window. This is documented in the installation instructions and in the FAQ, linked at the top of this page.
You can also, of course, just check whether the mods are actually working in-game.
FYI, QMM stopped shipping with an install .exe file from like version 4.1 or something (years and years ago), because again, you would just unzip the file and put everything in the game folder. Very easy. The installer .exe was a pain for the team to maintain so they scrapped it, since manually installing was super easy - as long as you understand how to move files out of a .zip - just as it is now with this BepInEx pack.
This is one of the main reasons I detest vortex: it breeds users who never learn how mod installation works and they blame the mod makers. The sense of entitlement is just icing on the cake.
EDIT: This comment was made in reply to Zachary coming back and being further beligerant in the replies, continuing to claim that it is my fault they are having issues getting this mod to work with their installation of Vortex, that I don't give information on how to find the game folder for manual installation, that they dont have the time to read these things anyway and insinuates that only basement dwellers without real lives would.
Zachary since edited those comments to only include the character "1", so I have removed them, since Zachary cannot.
Below this is my reply to those now-removed comments.
It isn't though. This mod works flawlessly with Vortex too. Assuming you have the latest version of Vortex and the latest version of the Subnautica Support Vortex extension. Then you just click the Vortex button and it works, assuming Vortex works great for your other mods. If it is not working with Vortex then it is a problem with your Vortex version or Subnautica Support Vortex extension version and you can get help from the discord server in fixing this. It has nothing to do with this mod. I 100% guarantee that.
As for manual, I do give enough info to manually install the mod.
You go to the folder where the game is installed. On steam that's as simple as clicking Manage -> Browse local files. There is even a tip in the instructions that tells you this. It is not my fault if you did not read this. If you don't have it with Steam then there is a similar method for finding the game folder on Epic.
Once you have found the folder where the game is installed (AKA. "the game folder"), then, you download the .zip. You open the .zip. You take the files out of the .zip and you put them in the game folder. That is really all there is to it.
All the info the vast majority of people need is right there on the instructions page. If you find them difficult to understand or overwhelming to look at, that is why the discord server exists, so you can go to it and ask for specific advice. But instead of doing that, you decide to just uninstall and be impolite about something that is outside of my control. That is your choice.
I understand that it is a lot of information on the description page, and it might be overwhelming. That is because I put a lot of time and effort into it, into making sure that all the information anyone could ever need to get the mods working is all there, and if something still isn't working, I link to resources like the modding discord where you can go and get answers to common questions and problems really quickly and easily.
I am trying to find time to devote to making the instructions easier to understand, I update them from time to time in an attempt to streamline them. It is very difficult to maintain a balance of giving all the info people might need, and overwhelming them to the point that they don't read anything.
There is literally no need to come here and be like this, and I have 0 incentive to volunteer more of my own precious free time to help someone who is going to be further argumentative when I am genuinely trying to help them, despite their impolite, rude and abrasive comments.
For some reason when ever i have this enabled when ever i remove battery from any tool it just deletes the battery and i know its bepinex because i disabled everything but bepinex and still have the issue soon as i disable it the bug goes away. (Fixed issue on my part)
If you managed to fix it, it obviously wasn't BepInEx causing the problem. Care to set the record straight? My guess is you still had mods installed and just didn't realise it. Probably ones you installed manually.
Ok so, when is first loaded into Subnautica after downloading bepinEx the screen/code message didn't show up. And yes i did put it into the right folder. Sorry i am new to this stuff. and i checked FAQ.
in an old version of the pack the console window was enabled by default. it is not anymore, mainly for performance reasons. sometimes information in random YouTube videos is outdated. i have no control over that.
So, I might be really, really stupid, but the gib just keeps on loading, never launches at all, I'm in MacOS Sonoma 14.3.1, it just says something like ''lauching gib'' and it never does anything else, doesn't give me any options, or does anything in general. I'm really sorry if it's just my fault, but to be honest, I think I'm doing everything? I'm not entirely sure, it's way easier to mod in Stardew Valley, I was NOT prepared for this.
Be easier to diagnose on the discord than on here. This posts tab isn't really conducive to a back and forth where I ask for screenshots and then you give them and then I ask for more info and then you give it etc., and then I ask you to try some specific commands and you tell me what happens and yada yada.
However generally speaking at the part where it's preparing and launching, you do gotta wait a bit to let it download everything. If it's taking a really long time, it might be a server issue.
Once you have BepInEx installed it's pretty easy. It's just a bit of a pain on macOS to get the install part done. With gib it's generally a lot easier, assuming it's working and the servers for downloading it's dependencies aren't down. If it isn't working for whatever reason you can always try the manual install following the guide. And I highly recommend joining the discord for hand-holding with that.
I kind of tend to get banned from discord servers, so I avoid getting in them. I waited for like an hour the last time, and it just didn't really load, tried restarting my computer, downloading everything again, but maybe the system was down, so I'll try again! Thank you, though!
If that doesn't work out I do recommend getting in touch via discord, I even have my discord DM on the gib readme so you can get in touch directly, because talking in a realtime chat is way faster/easier to get to the bottom of whatever the problem is.
Yeah, that's true. But I'm trying again. If it doesn't work either way, I'll contact you after the concert I'm about to go to. Thank you for the fast replies, though, it's really nice of you to take your time and help people, I'm really sorry I have to bother you like this, for real.
Hello, I downloaded bepinex and installed it but the mods option does not appear in the options menu, the version of the game I have is June 2023 71744, I would appreciate the help, and I do not have the game from Steam.
