Re: Game won't launch after using frosty mod manager

i can not find the bcrypt file im supposed to download and put in the folders mentioned above. would you please give me the link or explain where to find them? i am using frosty for battlefront 2

@LeBoZAVREL

I doubt that this is the same problem.

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

I can not find the "Utilities" section (for Battlefront II)

Did all that but right now when I launch Andromeda through Frosty all I am getting is a Black Screen

@ImmortalJoker66 

What did you do specifically?

Did everything in your post but when I launch Andromeda with Frosty all I am getting is a black screen

@ImmortalJoker66 

Try to repair the game. (in Origin > Game Library > right click MEA > Repair)

Make sure no files I mentioned are left in the game folder > Test. 

So delete the Moddata and the bcrypt items before repairing?

@ImmortalJoker66 

Yes.

Tried everything and still getting a black screen. I had no problem with Windows 7 but after switching to 10 the game isn't loading with Frosty

@ImmortalJoker66 

Are you sure that the game is completely vanilla now? All Frosty files are gone?

If so this might be a problem unrelated to Frosty.

Did the game run before you used Frosty?

Please create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply.

If you use Windows 7 also go to your Reliability monitor > Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time and copy and paste or type "perfmon /rel" (without the quotes) in the new Window > hit “ENTER” and look if it has entries for the game you have trouble with.

If yes double click at the last entry for the game executable, copy the info to the clipboard, and save it to a text file.

You can attach the DxDiag text file you created (and the “Reliability monitor” text file as well) to your post in the “Reply” window with the “Choose File” button. 

I switched from Windows 7 to Windows 10. When I had Win 7 the game ran fine with Frosty Mod Manager but after switching to Windows 10 launching it with Frosty only gives me a black screen

I found the problem, it was one of the mods for the loading screens. After removing the mod I am not getting the black screen again

After downloading Frosty I tried opening game with mods, but didn't work. Tried all the the steps you posted but still nothing, and even Origin won't even open to menu, ti crashes when opening. Help will be much appreciated

@C0mplexitii 

The mod manager should not influence Origin at all, so first I would focus on getting Origin to run.

Did you removed the mod?

I'm just going to jump in here and ask for a little help. I'm trying to use the frosty mod manager with Mass Effect Andromeda but there doesnt seem to be a bcrypt.dll in either the game directory or the mod manager third party folder. I've tried using the latest version of the frosty manager to launch the game but all that happens is that it builds the ModData folder and doesnt launch the game.

In newer versions of the Mod manager the "bcrypt.dll" seems to be replaced with the "CryptBase.dll"

I myself still use a older version of the ModManager (1.0.5.5) with the "bcrypt.dll" present.

Did you tried to run Frosty as Administrator?

Did you tried the "bcrypt.dll" from the Nexus mode page of Frosty? > Put it in the "ThirdParty" folder?

I've tried everything I can think of to make this thing work. Ive restarted Origin, my computer, reinstalled on a different drive, set FMM and Origin to run as admin, whitelisted FMM in my firewall, and given FMM and Origin full permissions on every user but I cant seem to get it to work. I've gone to the FMM discord to see if I can find more information but this question seems to be the most ignored and any answer the give isnt actually that helpful, saying only that it has to do with something blocking permissions. 

@Frankisaurus 

I just tested with the newest version (1.0.5.9). of FMM and it worked flawless as well.

Do you use this version?

You get prompted to apply the building of the ModData folder?

Did you tried with disabled Virus scanner?

If you say "reinstalled on a different drive" you mean not only the Mod Manager but the game as well?

You added a mod to FMM? 

Did you cleared your Origin cache?

The game runs flawless without FMM?

OK. So I had the same issue as OP, where Andromeda would not launch through FMM. Like what @holger1405 stated, with the new version of FMM, you now have to use the CryptBase.dll file instead of the bcrypt.dll file. All you have to do is COPY that CryptBase.dll file from the FMM file location to your route Andromeda file location, for example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect Andromeda. I think thats what @holger1405  was trying to say above, but not in so many words, which tripped me up for awhile. Hope this helps.

I have the same issue, except with SWBF2 (2017) what should I Do? I also cannot find any of these files mentioned in the post.

@txqueenbee75So assuming you have installed FMM, go to that file folder. If you dont know how, simply right click on the desktop icon and select Open File Location. From there, find the CryptBase.dll file and copy it. From there, just paste it into your Game File location using same method.

Hopefully this helps.
