WeMod not working with Steam Games

WeMod App Support

Hello and welcome to the WeMod community. :slight_smile:

Sorry to hear that you’re having an issue with Steam games on WeMod. I’ll try to help. Before you try the troubleshooting below, first restart your PC. Some weird issues are resolved by a simple PC restart.

Also, make sure your games are legitimately purchased from Steam. Cracked or pirated games are largely incompatible with third-party software such as trainers. There is no fix for this.

1) Custom Path

First of all, set a custom path to the game’s executable on your PC by clicking the down arrow next to the Play button in the WeMod desktop app.

  • The default directory for Steam games is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\{Game name}.
  • Alternatively, you can also find the directory by running the game, opening task manager and then right-clicking the game’s process and choosing “Open File Location”.
  • Note that any shortcuts on your desktop are likely a stand-alone launcher, not the executable.

2) Launch Order

Some games work best with WeMod if they aren’t launched via the Play button.

  1. Launch the game first. Wait until you are on the main menu.
  2. Alt+Tab to WeMod. Press Play.
  3. Alt+tab back to the game.

Don’t sit and stare at the WeMod Play button spinning around. I’ve noticed this seems to slow down the process with some games, most recently with Fallout Shelter on Steam. Go straight back to the game after pressing Play and give it about a minute.

3) Anti-virus Interference

It’s possible that your antivirus has intercepted and deleted a critical WeMod file. Simply whitelisting WeMod or disabling the program after this fact won’t replace this deleted file.

  1. Remove WeMod from your computer if you haven’t already, using the Add Or Remove Programs tool, which comes with all Windows PCs (use the search feature in the Start menu to find it).
  2. Turn off your antivirus software. Even if it’s the default Windows Defender.
  3. Download the installer from https://api.wemod.com/client/download and install the software.
  4. Add WeMod as an exception in your antivirus before you launch it. Log back in using “Switch User” after clicking the down arrow in the top-right.

4) Beta Channel

  1. Press the down arrow in the top-right of WeMod.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Under the Release Channel heading, select Beta from the options.
  4. Launch Task Manager. Find WeMod, right-click it and select End Task.
  5. Re-Launch WeMod and try the trainer again.

5) Additional

If you have either of these, there are additional steps:

  • Comcast / Xfinity - click for instructions .
  • BitDefender - click for instructions .
  • A school/college/university internet connection - use a VPN, there is an extra antivirus program on the school network that you have no control over. Try Opera Browser, which has a VPN built into it.

Hopefully one of these helps.

If all of these steps do not work, please go to your WeMod settings. At the bottom is a “Save Log” option. Save the log in a .txt file on your PC and upload it in a reply to this thread by clicking the upload button on the toolbar.
