@ShockOn what are the download options?
therirs times 64\
times 86
Arm64
and winget instructions
oh thats kinda what i figured, just asking what bit operating system ur running. youre most likely on x64, but if you wanna be extra sure just check your device specs in windows settings > system > about
64
then the x64 is what you download
then
i go back to the link
by the waymy broser said their was malware in the website
but will it work if i dowlnad from nexsusmod.com
nexusmods hasnt worked with sotf in a long while
what website are u downloading from? it should be safe if ur def on the correct site, sometimes this stuff just throws up false warnings
the one from the link
you can send the url here and i can verify ur def at the correct source if you want
okay
GitHub

this was the site u sent me
yea ur downloading the net6 from the correct site, literally an official microsoft page lol https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0
Microsoft
Download .NET 6.0 (Linux, macOS, and Windows) | .NET
.NET 6.0 downloads for Linux, macOS, and Windows. .NET is a free, cross-platform, open-source developer platform for building many different types of applications.
nothing is coming up
wdym
do i want times 64 or arm64
x64
huh
times 64
i open the exe file
but still nothing comes up
no software no loading screen
for net 6.0 or are you still trying to open sotfedit
still trying to open
do i have to do something with net 6
you have to actually run the .net 6.0 installer
oh
wait let me refrase that to my actul understanding
Oooooooooh
how do i know when it's installed
it will tell you in the installer set-up
okay now what
is it installed?
yes
then it should hypothetically be good, try running sotfedit
nothing happened
should i download a new zip file
the I con is still green
highlited
did you definitely install net 6.0 correctly? it didnt say restart your pc or anything?
send screenshots if possible
no
okay
is it working
it indeed looks good
then i'm stupmed
you could maybe just try restarting your pc anyway to def make sure its fully in effect
okasy
So how does restarting my pc makes sure it is working
Does it put it in use
Or get my pc to apply it
some programs need to fully apply upon the computer booting up, idk if this needs it though, im just throwin an idea out there
Better safe than sorry I suppose
still nothing
okay what the heck is going on here
damn, hm
any chance antivirus is blocking it or smthn? though i dont ever recall sotfedit ever throwing any issues before
thats the only other idea i have
I have norton broswer
could that be the problem
or is it something else
maybe? does the browser act as an actual antivirus as well? never used it
in a way
it tells me if something is safe or not
as in for your comptuer or just for web related stuff
anything that can be on the web
if it lets you still download it then likely not
I looked it up and all i cold find was norton 360 antivirues
and now it won't even let me go in the file
is my computer trolling me
wdym?
the heck is happening here
it's fully downloaded but it won't atou maticly open
and when i try to open it manully
it doesnt work
is there anywherte else i can download it
at all
cause i think my pc would work better
if we tried some where else
when i click on 12.10
it doesn't work
do i have to sign in
theres only the one download
is it being blocked?
i don't now
it syas done but i can still pause
the download
uh...rly weird
you could potentially try downloading it thru a different browser? idk how norton's browser is, i actually never knew they had their own
i'll try
sent me the link through edge
i'm going to restsart again
it's downloading more now i think
it's half full u green
it wasnt fully downloading before..?
i don't even know at this point
it said 13.4/13.4 was downlaoded
but it didn't open
it says this
0 B/s - 13.4 MB of 13.4 MB
should just mean its finished downloading and is installing
which means
in short, downloading is pulling the files from online, installing is actually properly setting up the files on ur computer
Ooooh
13.4 mb sounds like the sotf edit zip file..
no its not installing, the download is finished but something is still blocking it from being marked as completed, this is usually your antivirus checking it.
but still
oh
oh fuck it is a zip file i kind of forgot. you extracted it right?
extract?
i think i done that before
the problem stared us in the face for far too long
but i don't ezaxctly remember how
OOOOOOOOOOOOOh OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh
right click on the zip file > extract all
yeah
thats
yeah
tbf u were missing the net 6.0 so at least thats part of it we did get sorted out
but it's still hasent downloaded fully yet
then give it a bit
okay
also is their a way to tell my anti virius to skip checking it
by disabling it
how
are you just using windows defender?
no
The check should only take like 10 seconds at max, anything above that and something went wrong
at least for such a file size
i'm using norton
-# hold me back spidy before i start ranting about antiviruses
thank you internet
got it
they have the wrong icon selected in that
but yea
id guess just now try
i am more interested in the baseball in the task bar
mlb player bets dot exe
wait i'm using norton broswer as well so if i disbale aotuo protection
do i need to use a diffrent brsower
i thought you had switched browsers for the download, may have to disable a setting there or just yea use a diff browser
please use a different browser
like overall i would recommend it
okay now how do i extract again
right click on the folder > extract all
the exe folder
the zip folder
not the exe
wheres the zip folder
i see the download linkl
in your downloads, in file explorer
what have you been trying to do to run the program?
hit the .exe
thats what it siad to do
in file explorer, right?
i think yeah
like this
i think
through this app in your taskbar
i see that
is that what you're definitely using to access the files you downloaded?
hold on i'm still trying to load in
load into what
files exploreer
is it taking a while to load...?
yeah
what all are you running on your pc right now?
it definitely shouldn't take long, at all
discord edge and filoe explorer
and its..still loading?
is edge the problem
yeah
shouldnt be unless you have a really really slow pc, but if it can run sons of the forest im pretty doubtful
or you have an absurd amount of tabs open
onlt two tabs open on edge
yea that should be nothing
maybe just force close file explorer and try opening it again? it should NOT be taking this long. at all
i don't even see download
wdym
please do take pictures if you can
This one
oh. thats why.
huhs way
file explorer DID open. i thought you meant you didn't
i dont even remember what quick access is but its not where you're looking
but downloads not there
why is there nothing pinned in your directories...
there was
thats like an actual default, idk why theres nothing there
did you unpin them...?
but it's gone now
maybe idk
how do i find them again
does anything show up when you click desktop
yeah but no download
maybe it's my wifi
its not your wifi
then what could it be
this is just your computer. and im very very confused as im slowly understanding what im looking at 😭
for example, the side of file explorer for you should look something like THIS
it did
but then it disapered
and your computer isnt even there. unless its cropped out
but i did'nt even hit anything
just try reopening file explorer rly quick
close it then reopen it
ii've tried that
maybe it just felt silly. surely
and its still just...nothing?
yes
i nfound it
i nthink
send a pic
that is indeed it
but why you're missing everything, i have legit no fucking idea @GLaD0S whats your professional opinion on this delightful scenario
also why its taking forever, idk
listen man
its not on you lol
im legitimately confused and flabberghasted
by whatever is happening to your pc, which likely isnt your fault
This whole windows install seems messed up lol
i don't know why but this stuff generly happens when i try to do stuff like this
i like to call it my naturraly afeect
double lol
it's still loading though
id definitely consult a friend or someone who has proper experience with tech, this might be all a very large issue with whatever is going on
im just gonna turn it off and on
heck i'll restart it
hard resets can be good solutions
if it doesnt load i would close everything safely then try it
hard reset = holding the power button down til it shuts off
Okay
Just did it
Now let’s pray
it's finnally back
now how ezactly do i extract
give it some time to load stuff
cuase i right click but no extract shoiws up
generally when you reboot your computer, you should give it a bit to warm up and handle everything it needs to when starting
got it
for just like a minute or two
finnally
god now how do i change my world from normal to custom and change loot crate resapwing
ur def not letting it rest but it sounds like its fixed ❤️🩹
ok
click on FILE in the upper left and click on Open Savegame
okay
then select whichever save is yours, it should auto-detect where theyre stored and fill the selection with your files with similar details as it does in-game
lmk when you've got it
Like this
yes
Okay so click on the save I want and then
double click on it and it should load that data into the save edit
and finally, if its loaded, you just click on game, and thats where you adjust the difficulty
And this is completely safe
yes
NICE
when you're done, click on FILE then save to save the changes to the file
now where is crates
and it should be good
when you've selected custom, this is the setting to allow respawning crates
they'll reset every time you reload the world
So turn that off
And I’m good to go
disable it then save, and yeah it should be good to go
Any button to press to confirm it
just the save button
Where Exactly
click on File in the upper left, then click Save
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UR TIME
🙏 ofc
my party members will be happy to hear about this in tomorrows session
and i'm happy about it to
follow up question, how long have you left your computer on? do you ever fully shut it down when you're done, just put it to sleep, or always leave it running?
i think i put it to sleep ussally
i would definitely shut it down when you're fully done for the day usually
okay
sleep mode doesn't fully power it down and will still leave stuff running, and having your pc running constantly for prolonged periods of time can cause issues and wear down your parts
so yeah, very good habit to get into. very glad we got this figured out 💪
Thank u again
🙏
