Hmmm, that's odd. I've attached a small tool to help me find the issue - could you please download and run it? It only checks your OS version and looks for the correct registry key of your Nexus installation. Just run the .exe and post the info you receive here in this thread again.

Download SysInfo tool

Alternatively you can also provide me manually with the same info:

- Your Windows version
- 64-bit or 32-bit
- if using Vista or Windows 7, is UAC enabled?
- which of these four registry keys do you find in your registry (use Windows' regedit.exe to look for them)

Hi I've tried running the nexus launcher but windows is popping up saying that it has crashed.

Just to double check as I have the steam version of the game is there anything more I have to do apart from copy paste the launcher into the nexus folders?

Arparso · « **Reply #27 on:** August 22, 2011, 19:10:19 »

No, you don't even have to copy it into the Nexus folder - it'll work from anywhere on your computer and autodetect your Nexus installation. The only things you should need are a working Nexus installation and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Client Profile).

Have you tried the updated version of the launcher? The one in the first post isn't the most current one.

Have you also tried the SysInfo tool from the previous post? Could you copy-paste its output here?

Also what Nexus mods have you installed?

greatlordd · « **Reply #28 on:** August 22, 2011, 20:01:04 »

I downloaded the newest launcher. Still crashes.

The mods installed so far is the BSG mod.

Here the system info.

The best thing to try is checking it with Arparso's Freespace Evolution mod. Last time I checked Arparso connected it with the Nexus Launcher.

greatlordd · « **Reply #30 on:** August 22, 2011, 21:41:09 »

Ok the launcher starts now (the freespace mod added whatever was missing), so we are away from my initial problem, now it just doesn't want to allow me to pick my resolution or to change what mods I want to use.

Ok correction me being silly just the menus not dropping down but I can select resolution and mods.

Thanks for the help.

have you the steam version ?

Arparso · « **Reply #36 on:** August 29, 2011, 12:23:28 »

The launcher should work with the Steam version just fine. I made a few changes to the launcher - could you try out the new version:

Download Nexus Launcher

Nahdar · « **Reply #37 on:** August 29, 2011, 13:11:11 »

... it dont work

no change, the same like the picture up

Arparso · « **Reply #38 on:** August 29, 2011, 15:41:13 »

Even the path displayed is the same as in the previous picture?

I really don't know why it won't work... I tried it with the same OS and UAC setting as you appear to have and I didn't have a problem either with the launcer or changing the resolution for the Steam version of Nexus.

Let's try it manually again:

Open up regedit.exe
Navigate to both of the following paths and note the values for "Display_Width" and "Display_Height" for each of them:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mithis\Nexus - The Jupiter Incident
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mithis\Nexus - The Jupiter Incident
Start up the game through Steam
Open up the options menu and change your resolution to something else
Close the game
Use regedit.exe again to navigate to both of the previous paths and try to identify the one where "Display_Width" and "Display_Height" now show different values than before

This should be the correct registry key, where you can set your new resolution. To do so, change "Display_Width" and "Display_Height" to the new values, e.g to 1920 and 1200.
Important: When entering the new values, make sure "Decimal" is selected before entering the new number. This option is set to hexadecimal by default and if you were to enter 1920 into the box, you are actually telling the game to run a resolution 6432 pixel wide.

Nahdar · « **Reply #39 on:** August 29, 2011, 16:04:12 »

This is another path.

Then i go the first path (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mithis\Nexus - The Jupiter Incident)

i land here:

So i follow you description and The value is change in the regedit. But if i start the game after this. The resolution ist in the lowest value.

When i change the value ingame and i closed nexus the regedit valu had change too, but after starting ther game again ... nothing have change with the resolution ...

You have do much more if you must. I really big thanks too you.
A last Question: Can you speak german ?

Arparso · « **Reply #40 on:** August 29, 2011, 19:47:32 »

Yeah, I speak German - I sent you a private message

Please keep the public discussion here in English, though - wouldn't be polite to the non-German-speaking crowd here otherwise

Sorry for my english:)
Hello!
I have win 7 x64, Nexus v. 1.01, and the latest version of the Nexus Launcher (Beta).
When I was running Nexus Launcher, it does not recognize mods. And I can not start them. The game itself is okay.

Esgal · « **Reply #42 on:** August 20, 2012, 18:32:48 »

all is dead or what?

Mularac · « **Reply #43 on:** August 21, 2012, 23:46:21 »

and you could access those mods using nexus own launcher?

Esgal · « **Reply #44 on:** August 24, 2012, 06:32:27 »

No, for some reason it does not work. But I still can run the game with Nexus Launcher beta.

Arparso · « **Reply #45 on:** August 27, 2012, 14:47:48 »

How did you install those mods? Usually they belong into a "mods" subfolder, just like this:

C:\Steam\steamapps\common\nexus the jupiter incident\mods\Freespace Evolution

If both the default launcher and my own beta launcher don't recognize your mods, there's probably some installation error (either of the base game or the mods).

Esgal · « **Reply #46 on:** August 28, 2012, 06:58:31 »

When I use version 1.0 the default launcher work fine, but when I install 1.01 patch it doesnt work.
I try reinstall Nexus and mods many times, but Nexus launcher beta still not see mods.

Installation path:
C:\games\Nexus - The Jupiter Incident\mods\Freespace Evolution

Mularac · « **Reply #47 on:** August 28, 2012, 13:04:20 »

If you can't even access the mod with the game's launcher then the error is on your end, not Arparso's launcher.
What's the content of the Freespace Evolution folder?

Arparso · « **Reply #48 on:** August 29, 2012, 02:24:15 »

The patch breaks it? That's odd. Are you installing the correct patch (correct language)? Also, if you've got the US retail version, you don't need the patch - that was already included in the release, at least as far as I know.

Esgal · « **Reply #49 on:** August 29, 2012, 20:29:48 »

Actualy I use russian version of Nexus, but patch 1.01 only for eng version. Mayby it is reason.
