Love Menu Troubleshooting

F7 does nothing

• Did you start the game with LoveMenu-<version>.exe? A Steam launch leaves the menu inactive by design. The BepInEx log then says Not started from the Love Menu launcher - staying inactive.
• Did the game take more than 5 minutes to start after the launcher ran? The launch marker expires. Run the launcher again.
• Check you rebound the menu key in Settings.

"BepInEx 5 is required. Nothing was changed in the game folder."

You answered no when the launcher offered to install BepInEx, or the install failed. Run the launcher again and press Enter at the question. If it says "BepInEx install failed", close the game and check that the game folder is not read-only. See Installation.

"Could not find the LoveCraft install"

When the launcher asks, press Enter and select Curio.exe in the file picker, or paste the game folder. You can also start it with --game-dir "<folder>". See Finding the game.

The launcher uses the wrong game folder

Run it once with --reset-path to search again, or with --game-dir "<folder>" to set the folder yourself. Run it with --find-game to see which folder it picks, without starting the game.

"Plugin install failed"

The game was probably still running and locking the DLL. Close the game fully (check Task Manager for Curio.exe) and run the launcher again.

The game does not start

Steam must be running and signed in. If the game was just closed, wait a few seconds: a relaunch too soon after exit can fail silently.

The game froze after clicking the BepInEx console

Clicking inside the black BepInEx console window starts a text selection, and Windows pauses everything written to that window until the selection ends. The game writes its log there, so it freezes. Press Esc or right-click the console to unfreeze it.

From 1.1.1, the menu turns this off when you start the game with the launcher. For a plain Steam launch, set Enabled = false under [Logging.Console] in BepInEx\config\BepInEx.cfg to hide the console.

The game crashed or froze

• Logs\ next to the launcher has the Unity player logs from each session.
• Logs\bepinex_history.log has every BepInEx log line across sessions.
• BepInEx\CrashDumps\ in the game folder has .dmp files written when the game hung.

Please attach these when you open an issue.
