Troubleshooting

Mods Not Showing Up

  • Check the folder structure: Mods/MyMod/Info.json (Info.json directly in the mod folder)
  • Click Refresh to force a re-scan

Update Check Failures

  • Invalid version: Version in Info.json must be a valid System.Version (e.g. 1.0.0). Strings like "beta" won't parse.
  • Wrong URL: Repository must point to a valid GitHub repository.json URL or HomePage to a valid Nexus Mods URL.

Profile Apply Fails

  • Missing mods: if a mod isn't installed and has no Repository URL, it can't be auto-downloaded. Install it manually first.
  • Version mismatch, no archive: if the required version isn't cached and there's no repository URL, rollback is skipped.

Log Files

Platform Location
Windows %APPDATA%\DVModManager\logs\dvmm-YYYY-MM-DD.log
Linux ~/.config/DVModManager/logs/dvmm-YYYY-MM-DD.log

Look for Error and Warning entries around the time the issue happened.
