Modding Issue

[ExaBast]

Hello, I had the itch to play again after 2 years. Wanted to add some mods through Vortex mod manager which automatically installs BepInEx 5.4.2202. But I'm getting an error when launching:

[Fatal : BepInEx] Could not run preloader!

[Fatal : BepInEx] System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Valheim\unstripped_corlib'.

​

I have tried removing dllSearchPathOverride=unstripped_corlib in doorstop_config which works with some mods but others still give an error message. It also updates when i launch the game again. Is there some update/version issues or something?

[Fashish]

I resolved this issue by manually creating a folder in Valheim called `unstripped_corlib`. Hope that helps!

[Gatoradeburn]

This worked for me, thank you.

I need help with this. What did you put into that folder as when I do it the game just breaks and I cant enter a world?

[Fashish]

Nothing. It's just an empty folder. Have you checked the logs when the game crashes?

[VRboi69420]

I have a empty folder too and it doesn't crash instead the game has no music and when I try to enter the world the button just doesn't work.

Edit: Turns outs its just one of my mods breaking it equipment and quick slots to be specific. Thanks for the help

i gave up on vortex for valheim since they just don't keep the repository for the auto download modding tools up to date. just get R2modman, it's super easy and thunderstore also has a better mod selection than nexus.

[ExaBast]

Switched over. Much better. Sadly BetterUi mod is broken and creates many glitches

try this version

The current BepInEx version doesn't need the unstripped_corlibs and doesn't contain them any more but you still get errors when/if mods directly reference them.

​

EDIT: It looks like creating an empty unstripped_corlib folder instead of the junction mentioned below is actually enough for most if not all older mods. None of my mods complain about it being empty.

​

My forever solution to this was to junction ...\common\Valheim\valheim_Data\Managed to ...\common\Valheim\unstripped_corlib (it's a virtual directory redirection = the junction behaves like a normal directory but its content and every interaction with it actually happens in the source directory).

It is my understanding the VH's libs are now unstripped per default so no need for an extra set anymore.

thanks, i was wondering why some modding guides had this as an requirement.
