Wemod stuck in initial loading screen on launch, now fails to install

Flyingrhin098 · March 13, 2023, 5:50am

I’ve been using Wemod for a couple years now, and never had an issue. Started it up today after a long break and it updated automatically, then moved to the initial loading screen that says "your game, your rules. It stays at this loading screen forever. First thing I attempted to do is reinstall it, and after downloading the installer from here, I get an installation error, I try the manual install, and receive the same error. It gives me this long setuplog but I’m not sure what it says. Any help? Thanks.

I haven’t changed any settings in windows defender but I have been having issues with windows Gaming Services, that program seems completely broken and microsoft support says the only way to fix it is to do a clean install of windows which I’m hesitant to do, just in case that may be part of the problem.

Hello!

The log you provided appears to be from October 2021:

Or otherwise, your system clock is incorrect and needs to be set to the correct time/date. Do this now if this is the case - incorrect system clocks can cause various surprising issues.

In any case, installation issues are, for the most part, caused by interference from security programs on your PC or network, even if it was fine with WeMod before. Here’s the troubleshooting post for that, try all the things listed here: I can’t Install WeMod / "There was a error installing the application" - #2 by Ravenfyre.

Flyingrhin098 · March 13, 2023, 6:29am

I just checked my system clock and internet clock, and both are set to the current date. Not sure how else the error log can show with that date. I’ll try the troubleshooting steps and swing back if they don’t work.

I can’t correctly proceed to step 5. When I go to install wemod, it appears to automatically install itself without asking for a destination path and then asks for a log in. I still white listed the folder in C: Local and double checked my quarantine list. I tried logging in twice, and it is still stuck in the ‘your game, your rules’ loading screen. I uninstalled and tried the entire process over again, reinstalling, whitelisting, downloading the offline installer, etc.
