Whenever i try install any mod
this kind of error keeps popping up

(this is an example)

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Users\qwe\Documents\My Games\Cosmoteer\Mods\Krooms Forge 1.0.9'.

this usually happens when i try install a mod
and when i do try to install a mod this pops up

and it loads for AGES almost like if its not actually loading

Bruhshi_Bruv Ok so uh, this looks like some sort of botched install, so I'll need a little more info.
Are you trying to install the mod via the mods manager every time, or trying to do it manually when it gives you the error?
Are you doing anything to the downloaded mod before trying to install it?
If you're installing it manually, where are you putting it?
Do the built-in mods work?
How much RAM does your computer have?

Also I'd like to confirm something, try installing the mod using the ingame installer, and then watching task manager to see what happens (if it continually uses processing power, or simply stops doing much of anything) <https://www.howtogeek.com/405806/windows-task-manager-the-complete-guide/#:_{:text=Press%20Ctrl%2BShift%2BEsc%20to,shortcut%20in%20your%20Start%20menu}.>

I always use the mod manager "install mods" but this time I got desperate and manually put the mods on the cosmoteer mod file

CaptainRedstone Are you doing anything to the downloaded mod before trying to install it?

Nope i didnt touch any

CaptainRedstone If you're installing it manually, where are you putting it?

in the cosmoteer mod file

CaptainRedstone Do the built-in mods work?

yep

CaptainRedstone How much RAM does your computer have?

8.00 GB

Bruhshi_Bruv (Sorry for the late response, I forgot to check my notifications)
Could you define the "Cosmoteer mod file"? There's a folder for player-made mods, and a folder for built-in mods, I just want to quickly make sure you're using the right one.

Also for debugging purposes, could you upload one of the mods in question using mediafire so I can see if it works for me? There have been a few reports of mods doing stuff like this, but everyone just disappears before giving any clues as to why it happened : P

I've never seen a mod file for built-in mods or player-made mods before

Bruhshi_Bruv Oh gosh, I just remembered I forgot about this post again, so sorry. I'll keep the tab open so I don't forget again

Try telling your antivirus to allow Cosmoteer

Bruhshi_Bruv

CaptainRedstone It's okay

The problem was just the antivirus not allowing Cosmoteer
you and Walt told me the problem and how to fix it on other post I made on tech support (no mods)
Thanks for helping! I appreciate it
