I just downloaded The Long Dark through steam, i have launched it once, and then i downloaded the TLD Mod Loader Installer. When i select the "tld.exe" i cannot click "patch" because the file status says "Invalid".

Im guessing the patch of TLD is so knew that the TLD mod loader doesnt support it yet. Am i right?

Running on MacOs & going through the folder, I do not have the file rewire_core.dll built into the game. I have already verifed my steam folder & it says everything is checked out. Wondering how and where I can get the file?

i have steam version of the game and install the 1.5 version but the game stuck on Disclaimer screen

Every time mod loader patches the directory the game will refuse to get past the disclaimer screen because it gets hard stuck frozen. The only way to fix it is to verify the integrity of the game folders which pretty much reverses what the mod loader did.

Mac os
when l selected the tld.app.the application said they can't find "Rewired_Core.dll" .then l opened steam to check my game files .but all the files are right.so l opened the tld tld.app/Contents/Resources/Data/Managed/Rewired_Core.dll .but l can't find Managed folder in Data folder.

It looks like there may be changes to the game which makes this MOD loader no longer work.

When I try to patch the game I just see "INVALID" when I select the file for patching. So, no mods for now :(

I noticed that I can't patch it / access any of the mods now--would this be because of the redux? What are plans for updating to the redux? Thanks!

As suggested, I am posting my attempt to use mods on The Long Dark, on my Mac. I downloaded both the mod itself and the ModLauncher, however that is where I began to run into problems. I am not technologically illiterate, however I am not a whiz either, so my issues could very well be my own lack of knowledge. When I opened the mod launcher, it asked for the path to the DLL, which to my understanding is a Windows specific type of file. So when I clicked on the ellipses button to the right of the "Path to the DLL:" text box, I selected "TLD Executable" instead of "Rewired_Core.dll". However, despite following all instructions I could find that explained how to open mod launcher properly, I could not find or figure out which file the mod loader wanted, as the only example online is on Windows, which showed the "Rewired_Core.dll" file plain as day ready to be uploaded. I do not have this file, and even if I did I could not figure out how to supply the path to the Mod Loader. Because of this I am unable to load mods onto my game. Any help/feedback on this issue would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank You,
Kevin

So, I've spent the last hour trying to figure this out. I downloaded the file, but didn't have java. So I downloaded Java 8, which should work, but when I try to open Jar files, like this one, it does nothing. I click, nothing happens. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Java, still no. I got winrar, which can open the jar file, but nothing in there is something I can execute to get the dialogue box I need. So what do I do?

First of all, I'd like to truly thank you and all of the modding community for the time and effort you've put into making some incredible mods to make tld more enjoyable. It's sad to see that it has become so difficult now with Elegy. I will continue to push Hinterland to support modding in the future. In the meantime, is there any chance that some mods may be modified to work with 1.6?
Thanks again!

I downloaded TLD v1.56 to try some old mods, but the Modloader throws the above error. It's basically the same issue as the Mac user has in one of the other threads, but then it can't be, since I am on Windows. Any ideas?

Maybe I'm missing something here. Your installation instructions point to files that don't exist.

Download ModLoaderInstaller-Windows-x64.zip from the downloads page

Link to download: https://github.com/zeobviouslyfakeacc/ModLoaderInstaller/releases/latest/

ModLoaderInstaller-Windows-x64.zip does not exist

Extract the entire ZIP archive
Run ModLoaderInstaller.exe by double-clicking the file.

ModLoaderInstaller.exe doesn't exist

Hi, I don't have any file named "managed" in my TLD folder, I'm using Steam on Windows. So, I can't install any mods. What can I do against this issue ?
Any help will be appreciated.

I am having frequent crashes.
I installed this months ago, it was great. But did not need it any more, I removed it. Since the last TLD update I have been having crashes. I sent my files to Hinterland and they say the mod is still present and that could be causing the crashes.
I recently renamed the original file location and install a fresh game. Worked great for a while but crashing again. I dont know how to tell if the mod is installed or not.
Any help you can offer to stop the crashing is appreciated.

Hi,

Harmony v1.1.0 includes some nice features that would be nice to have. Is it complicated to update this to work with latest version of Harmony?

Many thanks!

I had this error while trying to patch the tld exe

So, I have tried every solution that I could find to remedy this but JAR files still will not open for me on Windows 10. Not sure what else I can do. Pretty frustrated as I am not a programmer and have no idea why it isn't working. I ran Jarfix which seemed to work. It told me that .jar files were registered successfully but it doesn't seem to have done anything.

You and FINDarkside could create a complete tutorial for creating new mods, with shortcut keys?

Im a dotNet Programmer, but i've never done mod before

Not really sure any other way to contact you.

I am starting to play around with mods on TLD. I made a very simple first mod that doubles the speed in which you learn skills.

can you add it to your modlist?

also not really sure any better way to contact you.

I did everything right, all files are in place and a message appears
please help

Browsing to tld.exe or Rewired_Core.dll returns red "Invalid". Please update. Thanks for all your great work!

Can no long patch latest version of game (1.48.1 47676).

The jar file cannot be guided to the correct path on macOS, because of the different path on mac.
It may be able to be solved if its possible to copy in the path instead of guiding the installer to it.

I think this problem was also posted in the post about the installer on /r/TheLongDark
Kudos, for making a modLoader :=)

What is says is "The specified file was invalid or was not writeable."
Any way to fix?
(When I clicked on the file it showed up as "valid, unpatched"(then the error showed up when I pressed enter))

Do you have any idea where i can find a version of tld that could run mods?

Sorry if this is an incorrect forum for this, however i didnt see a message option.

Thanks,
Ryan

My the long dark is run on window, version is 1.48 but i don't have "managed" folder and "rewired_core.dll" file
So where can i get those file?

I tried locating the path to tld.app but it says i need locate it to 'TheLongDark' thing but i dont have it

Am I blind?

Hey,
Better fuel management and Better water management do throw exceptions on latest stable (well, excluding todays update).
Would be possible to remove them from compatible mod list (if you look on source codes of those mod you will see opened issues there).

Also sorry to hear that modding from now on will not be continued (as it seems) but devs of TLD always where anti-mod scene.

Thanks for all good You (and other modders) did.
