Re: Frosty Mod Manager not launching game

@LGcookie 

OK, we know the game runs, so the issue is with the Mod manager or Windows.

Do you have the Windows Defender "Controlled folder access" activated?

Non of the files from the mode manager should normally be affected by this, but it is customizable. 

Did you to shut down your virus scanner? (You can try it offline if you feel uncomfortable doing it online.)

    @holger1405 I've shut down both my virus scanners but still no result. I also accessed the folder you mentioned and it was off. I turned it on and added Frosty to the controlled folder access, but still nothing. I feel like I'm running out of ideas.

    Ok, this might be a problem on its own. Two virus scanners running at the same time are bound to disturb each other.

    What are this virus scanners?

    Turn the controlled folder access off again.

    @holger1405 One is Norton Security, the other is SpyHunter5. I've removed Norton (it expires soon anyway) and tried running with Spyhunter disabled but still nothing. I also turned off the controlled folder access as requested.

    I just revamped my Frosty installation and everything works fine.

    Which version of Frosty do you run? 

    Did you tried to run only the Mod Manager as Admin?

    @holger1405 Sorry for the late reply. The version I'm running is 1.0.5.7. I've recently discovered there is an updated version, so I'll try installing that and see if there's a change. And yeah, I've tried only running the mod manager as admin.

    @holger1405 I downloaded the latest Frosty and it's working now. I'm new to mod managers and didn't realise they update so frequently. Thanks for the help, much appreciated 🙂
