does not work on v35, only on v34!

[Noggog]

Hmm, where are you even getting v0.35? 0.34 is currently the most recent version

I'm having the same problem on version 35 prerelease.

last [0.34.1-pre-release1] - this is defined in the program as "0.35.0-alpha.2"

I'm getting the same issue on latest (34.0) too. Using MO 2.5.2, Windows 10.

Reverted to the (v32.0) release package. Working as intended with patchers set to default settings.

[Noggog]

@Patchu1i does this occur if you do a fresh install of v0.34? As in extract all the contents of the zip to a new folder?

Yes, I made several attempts to clear the install directory and reinstalling just to be sure it wasn't some setting.

I also tried multiple configurations of setting in-app versions such as per-patcher mutagen and app versions. None of this seemed to work.

Freshly installed v32 (as i did v34), and it worked immediately.

Note: I do not recall what versions I reverted to, specifically when testing patcher settings. I tried "Match," which would equate to any version, obviously. Just figured I should clarify that.

[Noggog]

I dont think in-app settings would affect this. This error occurs when .dll files are missing and cannot be found. (or failure to load in properly would be similar, i guess). In this case, Mutagen.Bethesda.Skyrim isn't in the ecosystem, and so it fails to make a new SkyrimMod object as it expects it should be able to.

This normally occurs when people do "half" installs and forget to bring along the .dlls and so they're legitimately missing.

However, if you're certain that you've extracted all files from the zip into a fresh folder, then maybe something else is at play. If you install and start 0.34 synthesis in a fresh folder without involving Mo2, does it still have the same issue?

[TrashMob1054]

Just an FYI... I had the same issue with a Fallout 4 build. It is definitely linked to the version of the executable and other files. I had older files so I decided to start clean. When I reinstalled I found out I had the 0.35 pre-release, which threw the same error the OP mentioned, and then reinstalled again with 0.34 and got it working.

[Noggog]

Yeah, I'm able to reproduce with the pre-release version. I dont think anyone should be using that (it was released for the nuget library usage, not the UI that came along for the ride). I'm going to delete it from the list for now.

But I haven't been able to reproduce with actual release versions. And I suspect that the few people that have problems are running the prerelease. Or perhaps running their patchers with their versioning set to pre-release? (also not recommend outside of specific reasons)

I was infact running the pre-release version when I ran into this issue as well. Thanks for the clarification!

[Noggog]

Cool. I've deleted the prerelease UI from being downloadable. I'll perhaps look into why it was packaging wrong for the next one
