Welp, I spoke too soon. Some critical bugs in this that make it hard to use right now. I'm starting to think I have to move back to steam and I don't want to because steam has its own issues.

1) Antivirus flagged this as ransomware because it tried to modify folders in the documents folder. (Timberborn's fault for using Documents)

2) Mods seem to be stuck on old versions since I allowed Timberborn through the AV. I have to go through each in the list to see which are on incorrect versions to manually click update.

3) There seem to be random mods that won't allow me to enable, its totally random and I have no idea why.

Appears to work for me.

Crash on start (before entering the main menu).
Error log shows:
SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Rethrow as WebException: Error: ConnectFailure (A connection attempt failed...) Same as the above exception.

Probable cause: The mod can't handle the exception when it can't access Mod.io in time, thus crashing the game. Moreover, I've enabled the Windows system network proxy as a VPN to enable access to Mod.io, but the mod doesn't follow the system proxy correctly causing it can't establish a connection with Mod.io.

Possible fix: 1. Correctly handle the exception when Mod.io can not be accessed. (Don't crash the whole game, show a network error instead) 2. Adapt to system proxy service, so I can use this mod. lol

@aemer
Thats old text, removed it now. Thanks for notifying me.

maybe i'm blind, but the description ask this mod manager to be installed manualy following a guide, but i can't see this guide link anywhere on this page

Happy to hear! Lemme know if you have issues again!

seems to be working now after the update.

@Kev Would you mind sending me a DM with the error? You can find it in your documents folder -> Timberborn -> Error reports

I only have this and Harmony, I crash on load every time, if I disable this and just leave Harmony I can reach the main menu.
Am I missing something here?

What I mean is : people used to install mods without the workshop know what a mod manager is and what it typically does.

People who only ever use mods through the workshop do not.

A better description would be appreciated.

Hi there! how does the mod manager work?
