TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot your game if the mod is not working:

Did you turn it on?

You need to enable the mod in the mod manager in the launcher.

Skipping the Launcher

Are you launching the game off the taskbar or clicking the .exe? Don't do that. You need to launch through the launcher. The play button in steam works fine, as do desktop shortcuts.

If you don't see the launcher before the game, it won't work.


Old mod files

Did you install mods before the workshop was officially released? Did you delete them? Make sure you deleted them.

If you used a user.script.txt file to install those mods, you'll need to delete that too.

DX11

Did you set a launch option for dx11? Remove the launch option or mods won't work.

Launcher Errors

Try going to %appdata%\The Creative Assembly\Launcher and deleting the moddata.dat file that can be found there. If your launcher is causing problems, that will hopefully fix it.

Corrupted Steam Download

The easiest way to fix this is to unsubscribe from the mod, launch the launcher and open the mod manager, then close the launcher and resubscribe.

On some rare occasions, steam will not properly remove the mod after you unsubscribe
If you think this is happening, you can delete the mod from your disk manually after unsubscribing

This mod can be found in steamapps\workshop\content\1142710\2789896366

Once you have deleted it manually, subscribe again to re-download it.

Verify your game cache.

Sometimes steam loses files. Try verifying. This is last because it is rarely this, but its worth checking if you're stumped.

Other things to try:

Try moving the mod file manually from the content folder into your warhammer 3/data folder, renaming it, and then enabling it in the launcher from there.


If it still doesn't work
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789857593

Install this mod, then run your game, starting a new campaign. Then go to steam, Warhammer 3, browse local files, and grab the lua_mod_log.txt, used_mods.txt and the script_log_<numbers>.txt files and upload them for me to look at.


IF YOU PROVIDE ME WITH NO RELEVANT INFORMATION, YOU WILL RECEIVE NO HELP. I CAN'T READ MINDS.


If you fix a problem getting the mod to load and your fix isn't listed here, please tell me what you did so I can add it here.

Same here. I just got the game straight up and installed 1.1 then subscribed and activated the mod there. No joy.

Has anyone had luck enabling this mod in Windows 11, I wonder if those experiencing issues are on Windows 11 vs 10. I have tried every option above along with others, including uninstalling then removing all remaining files manually and reinstalling.

I had success going to the creator's git hub, downloading the files, and putting them into the data folder as described.

I feel foolish but I dont see the pak file on the github page, which files are needed

I would strongly recommend against doing that. GitHub is for reference for people who are learning to create mods; it isn’t always updated and it doesn’t contain any of the database information or localization files. Pasting scripts into your data pack without any of the files they depend on is a recipe for a broken game.

If you have followed all of the steps above (don't be the person who says they tried everything then comes back 4 hours later saying it was DX11) and your launcher still doesn't work, I would recommend:

1. find the mod file per the instructions above, copy it into your Warhammer III/data
2. rename the file to AAA_MOVIE_whatever.pack
3. Open the packfile in RPFM, go to File > Change Packfile Type > Movie.
4. Remember that this file will be always active until you manually remove it, and that you will have to remove it when the game is patched by CA.
