So the game was working perfectly fine and I decided to try some mods. Installed the frosty mod manager got about 8 or so mods and tried to launch, and the game never popped up on the screen. In origin the play button was invisible though and activation ui.exe was in the task manager. I've already tried everything like repairing game, deleting exes and then repairing, safe boot, etc. The only thing that seemed to work was reinstalling the game. I really want to play with the mods and I'm really confused why the game won't work after using the mod manager

@Kobranz @CC5O5O @rfields99 Try this: Go to your game directory (Normally at ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Andromeda" and delete the "bcrypt.dll" file and the "ModData" folder. Then go to your "FrostyModManager\ThirdParty" folder and delete the "bcrypt.dll". reboot test the game. If the game works after you did this you can try to re-download the "bcrypt.dll" from the nexusmods page of the Mod Manager (important) and put it in the same folders as mentioned above.

Hey, you can try adding the mods one by one, and see if there's a particular mod or combination of mods that's leading to the issue.

Unfortunately adding a bunch at once can lead to problems, so adding them piecemeal is the best way to go.

Its not mod/s. You are searching in wrong direction. Look at topic below. Many users like me never had mods just first fresh install Andromeda and we cant start it either !!
(I dont have ANY mods managers installed on my computer) . Try to focus on the root problem (your foulty last path probably) - not mods. Its shame that problem exist from last year!! Almost one year and still not resolved Can anybody imagine that ?

@Szybki_Mis; Errrr... @EA_David wasn't the one with the problem.

And this topic is specifically for problems when using the Frosty Mod Manager.

As for the game not starting for you, do you have AVG or Avast anti-virus?

Try this:

Go to your game directory (Normally at ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Andromeda" and delete the "bcrypt.dll" file and the "ModData" folder.

Then go to your "FrostyModManager\ThirdParty" folder and delete the "bcrypt.dll".

reboot

test the game.

If the game works after you did this you can try to re-download the "bcrypt.dll" from the nexusmods page of the Mod Manager (important) and put it in the same folders as mentioned above.

I doubt that this is the same problem.

Go to the Nexus\Star Wars battlefront 2 page and look under the "Utilities" section.
