Just a friendly tip 😃 |

When I typed that all in, it said “Permission Denied”. The window that
pops up is a SteamTinker window when I click on the MO2 option. Also, I
have been on Desktop mode for the majority of it.

I'm not sure why MO2 is failing, could you provide some logs? You can find
them in /dev/shm/steamtinkerlaunch/steamtinkerlaunch.log. Also, what
window is it that pops up, could you describe it any further?

UPDATE: Went to Downloads and found this. Maybe I did it right??? |
|
I'm not sure what that mo2 folder in your downloads is but it's likely unrelated. Also, it looks like you're in the wrong folder. If you go to the Just an aside: I noticed you have LOOT in your Downloads folder. MO2 comes with LOOT installed, so you shouldn't need to install it separately 😃 |

Hmm, those look like some strange Yad warnings (that's what STL uses to display its UI), but I'm not sure they're entirely relevant. Maybe MO2 installed successfully? Though I would've expected more output. I thought when I installed it on PC that it gave me a message. Can you attempt the following:
If this was not selected before, try installing MO2 again, either from the SteamTinkerLaunch UI or from Terminal like you just did. Though I doubt this option would make a difference, I'm just trying to cover all bases 😃 If this still does nothing, go to
If you see nothing in these folders or you can't find any of these folders, likely MO2 is not installed. If this is the case, can you attempt this:
Good luck! |

What is inside the "Modding" folder? This indicates to me that MO2 is installed? |
|
Nothing is in the modding folder |
|
Hmm, so it seems like MO2 is failing to install for some reason, but the prefix seems to be getting created. Could you try the other steps I outlined as well? In particular I'm interested to see the logs. There hasn't been a new release for MO2 so nothing should have broken on their side at least. |
|
I will update you once it’s done installing ^^ |
|
Cyberpunk that is |
|
|
|
I even scrolled down and did not see any Mod Organizer 2 options |
|
Hmm. Well, try installing MO2 using the button on the menu and attaching your SteamTinkerLaunch log. Maybe the MO2 options only show up if MO2 is installed but I'm not sure on that. You can find the log in Thanks for all your patience so far. I'm sure this is annoying but we'll get there I'm sure. Someone else who has used MO2 more extensively on Deck might be able to chime in too 😃 |
|
file:///dev/shm/steamtinkerlaunch/steamtinkerlaunch.log |
|
Now what? |
|
I should also add that installing it on the main menu of STL didn’t work. Unless there’s a way to boot up STL without starting a game |
|
Hmm apparently that didn't work, that's just the path to the log. Try to attach the file, you should be able to drag the file onto the file browser window that opens up and then attach it And yes, I didn't expect it to work. I want to see the log for where it fails :) |
|
file:///dev/shm/steamtinkerlaunch/steamtinkerlaunch.log |
|
Silly me lol |
|
Thanks! Did you try to install MO2 when you attached this log? I had a quick glance but I'm not seeing anything related to MO2 there. Just to reiterate:
|
|
steamtinkerlaunch.log |
|
Thanks, this has much more information. It looks like for some reason it can't find the MO2 executable. I'm gonna dig into the logs and see if I can find out more. |
|
Thank you so much btw |
|
Okay so for anyone else looking at the issue, the lines of interest from the logs are:
function getLatestMO2Ver {
MO2SET="Mod.Organizer"
writelog "INFO" "${FUNCNAME[0]} - Search for latest '$MO2SET' Release"
MO2SETUP="$("$WGET" -q "${MO2DLURL}" -O - 2> >(grep -v "SSL_INIT") | grep "exe" | grep -m1 "$MO2SET" | grep -oE "${MO2SET}[^\"]+")"
}Then it goes on to setup game symlinks. Then it says this: Indeed, this should not happen. @GenghisSwan10 basically this means for some reason, STL expects that MO2 is installed, but of course it isn't. I'm not sure how this happened, but I recommend doing the following to try and fix whatever has gone wrong. Make sure SteamTinkerLaunch is closed when you're doing this 🙂
I'm not super positive on why MO2 didn't install correctly, but this will at the very least give us more insight into why it failed. I think maybe for some reason STL thinks MO2 is already installed, but it's not. Out of curiosity, did you attempt to install MO2 in some other way before trying SteamTinkerLaunch? If so perhaps that caused some issues (maybe it messed with the Wine prefix or something and made STL think MO2 was already installed) |

Hey @GenghisSwan10, the issue has been fixed in the latest STL git! If you run SteamTinkerLaunch again on your Steam Deck and verify that the version ends with A few caveats to note:
Good luck and happy tinkering! |
|
Well spoken, @sonic2kk! 👍 |
|
Oops! Updated my comment, thanks for the correction 😄 |
|
Will update once I am home! Big ups to all of you! |
|
So every time I try to play it, it keeps saying Cyberpunk has flatlined and crashes. Maybe I have too many mods? |
|
|
|
It doesn’t look like any of my mods are having a conflict tbh. Downloaded LOOT but I don’t see it. |
|
This probably isn't a SteamTinkerLaunch issue, so we can't give you much help, sorry. However I can give some general pointers. Make sure you're launching MO2 correctly via STL, that is only trying to configure games when running MO2 by pressing the button on the Main Menu, and only trying to launch the game when you're running MO2 after pressing the STL "Play" button (when you get promoted for "MO2 GUI"). Also, it looks like you're in desktop mode. When you're done configuring your games, you can and should launch your games via Game Mode. Outside of that, make sure you installed your mods correctly, and MO2 should come with LOOT so you don't need to install that. Also see if anyone has had any issues using the mods you're trying to run on Linux, and if they were able to resolve them. LOOT should be listed if you click on the executables dropdown on the right hand side. See if you can find and read up on any MO2 tutorials to learn how to get started. SteamTinkerLaunch is not really affiliated with MO2, we just try to bridge the gap to get it installed. After that, users are expected to know how to mod their games. I'm glad you got MO2 working at least! But we can't really help you any further, you might want to ask around online for some advice. Happy tinkering! |
|
Well it crashes in Game Mode as well |
|
I moved all my mods to Cyberpunk’s mod folder, verified all the files, etc |
|
Actually if I remember correctly there should be a button in MO2 to sort the load order automatically, which runs LOOT. If not you can technically add LOOT as an executable and run it separately (LOOT actually has specific Wine support iirc). You'll have to read up how to do this on your own though 😅 So I would recommend:
I doubt this is an STL or even Linux problem though, I think this is just modding being a real pain in the butt (it can take several days to get a game modded and configured correctly even if you're only using 5 or 6 mods, took me a full weekend to get Skyrim SE modded and launching without crashing). I'd also check the mod pages for each mod to make sure they don't conflict. Ask around about the mods too, there may be undocumented conflicts. Usually the best way to mod is to go one mod at a time. MO2 lets you do this by disabling mods by simply unchecking them (almost always works, it's very rare this won't work and MO2 will tell you if it won't - your mods look fine as far as I can tell, just a heads up for the future). So start by unchecking all your mods when running STL from Game Mode and trying to launch, then see how you go. If it launches start enabling mods one at a time. If it doesn't, you might have to reinstall your game. I'm not sure what to do if it doesn't boot without any mods, that's kind of where you're on your own I'm afraid, too many things likely unrelated to STL could be going wrong and we can't offer support for those. |
I'm sorry but the actual modding process is not relevant to SteamTinkerLaunch. We can't give specific support for helping you mod your game, only for getting MO2 installed and running. You can try the things I've outlined in my two comments but you'll have much more success asking around online, ideally in Linux-gaming communities (Nobara/Proton-GE discord server and probably other places too). I have never personally modded Cyberpunk 2077, so I can't even give you further support even if I wanted to because I just simply don't know the ins and outs or how to help. Best of luck getting it working friend 😃 |
|
It runs when I don’t go through MO2 in Game Mode. I’ll try disabling my mods then enabling one by one. Also, when I try to connect to nexus it doesn’t open up a window where I can do it |
Can you be more specific, how can you get the game to run? If you simply run without mods do you mean? As for the Nexus links, that likely doesn't work because of Firefox Flatpak. There was a previous issue where this was discussed, there's nothing we can do about this on Steam Deck afaik. See #551, probably this is just an unfortunate limitation of Firefox Flatpak and probably something Mozilla might be able to fix in future. |
|
Yes, without mods. And I only enabled one mod and it STILL doesn’t work. Honestly I appreciate everything you guys have done but this is stupid -_- |
|
Where even is the LOOT button? |
|
Also I’m using chrome so idk if that’s what’s causing it |
You are modding on an unsupported platform, I told you earlier not to expect all of your mods to work right away. There is no need to be rude, I have even gone out of my way to try and help you with your modding issues, something which is entirely unrelated to SteamTinkerLaunch. This is NOT something we are expected to help with, I am going out of my way to try and offer suggestions but you should probably be asking elsewhere for help with modding your games on Linux. Also, this is just how modding goes even on Windows. Modding can take tens of hours, it is not always as simple as dragging some files and running.
I don't remember off the top of my head (it might say "Sort"), please look into how to use MO2. To be blunt, SteamTinkerLaunch is not your support resource for how to mod your games. As for using Chrome, it could be causing issues. I don't know how Steam installs Chrome on Deck, if it sets it as a Flatpak, or anything. Your initial issue is solved, that MO2 did not install. We fixed it and you have MO2 running. We do not guarantee that mods will work, I understand the frustration that your mods aren't working and while there could be Linux-specific issues that might have workarounds, I doubt the issues you are experiencing are specific to using SteamTinkerLaunch. |
|
I wasn’t being rude? Just saying the situation I was in was stupid :p |
|
Anyway, it was never my intention. I’ll simply just look around and see if anybody can help me. Thank you. By the way, is Nexus fixed yet on STL? |
|
There's been no progress with fixing Nexus, it might be fixed in future as supposedly Wine 7.17 works with it, but afaik no Proton version has the patches in place for it. There's also a pending issue of how to deploy mods. Keep an eye on the pinned issue relating to Vortex for updates. |
|
oh, nexus is broken? |
|
That was my understanding of #555, that DotNet6 is causing problems with Vortex because of some upstream changes. Maybe I understood incorrectly 😅 |
|
Thanks for elaborating. Apparently I wasn't able to express correctly what I wanted to say with my last two comments in #555 (explains the silence following 😀)
|
|
Ah, that's a relief! I thought there were some issues with the way Vortex deploys mods but reading the other replies in that issue I think I simply just misunderstood. @GenghisSwan10 It seems like Vortex might work with some extra effort to tweak. This won't be an instant fix for your mods and there is no reason switching from MO2 to Vortex (or vice versa) will fix your mods. There could be lots going wrong, so this isn't an endorsement to switch from one to the other, just clarifying that it seems Vortex might work with a bit of extra effort. |
|
So stick with MO2 for now since it doesn’t make much of a difference? Got it 👍 |
|
Nothing is in the modding folder.

Can you attempt the following:
1.
Attempt to launch your game with SteamTinkerLaunch as the selected
compatibility tool (I think it was Cyberpunk 2077)
2.
Go to the Main Menu and then to the Game Menu (it's a button along the
bottom)
3.
You'll see a heading with "Mod Organizer 2 options". Can you ensure
that "GUI" is selected like the following:

4.
Click "Play" and a window should pop up asking if you want to start
MO2. You can just let this time out. It might take a while (sometimes up to
a few minutes at worst on first boot), but eventually MO2 should start up,
*if* it is installed, which I'm not totally sure about yet 😅
If this was not selected before, try installing MO2 again, either from the
SteamTinkerLaunch UI or from Terminal like you just did. Though I doubt
this option would make a difference, I'm just trying to cover all bases 😃
------------------------------
If this still does nothing, go to ~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/mo2, and if
you have a folder there called compatdata, go into it and go to
pfx/drive_c/Modding/MO2 and send a picture of what you see. It should
look something like this if MO2 really is installed (which I'm not sure
about):

------------------------------
If you see nothing in these folders or you can't find any of these
folders, likely MO2 is not installed. If this is the case, can you attempt
this:
1. Try to install MO2 from the SteamTinkerLaunch UI again
2. Close SteamTinkerLaunch
3. Attach the steamtinkerlaunch.log file found at
/dev/shm/steamtinkerlaunch to a reply so we can see the logs.
Good luck!

no, thanks. no need for any updates! |
Hello all. I recently downloaded SteamTinker Launcher on Steam Deck to mod Cyberpunk 2077 via Vortex. When Vortex didn’t work, I resorted to Mod Organizer 2 (which someone recommended). I am able to launch the menu successfully, but when I try to install MO2, it pops up a window then immediately closes it.
I should add I’m very green to modding/PCs in general. Is there a way to fix this. Launching vortex works fine, it’s just that I can’t use it.
