Ridiculous that some modern game publishers fight against modding. Meanwhile Bethesda and others have built legendary reputations and inordinate wealth by embracing and allowing modders to breathe new life into old games. Shit, Bethesda has even HIRED modders to work on their games.
very well said, yes its a shame, look at arma mods have turned into DLC like day z and so much more, embracing mods is best way to bring a game to life, modders know what gamers want
CDPR hired too. UbiSoft prefers mtx in-store instead of modding. But, that's even dumber, because if you can mod the game deeply and add customization without paying it, the game will have unlimited life. This means more and more people will buy your game because it can be modded. Now like this, people won't buy your game, and you will rely on selling mtx in a game that won't sell much of mtx because it's not an MMO RPG or something like that. See how they locked the best balaclavas behind the store and crye g3 combat shirt. But even if they don't support modding, in the end, you have mods, lol. Makes no sense
dude this helped me so fucking much i watched so many tutorials and all of them told me nothing but when i found this video i struck gold. tysm im subbing
Bro hearing stuff like this absolutely makes my day im glsd it helped. I couldng finc nothing to help when i was learning took me a week of BS and reinstalling, lol. This is why i do this
to anyone that have a issue where the game crashes,try to put off all of the armor in game and helmet and after that reinstall the mods,what makes the game crashes its because ubisoft being ubisoft (for me i delete the patch_01 files and put on the backup files)
Modding this game is so damn counterintuitive. I don't get why developers can't just add steam workshop compatibility and be done with it. Or at least make it as easy as most other games do, dragging and dropping files.
I dont get what you meen by that ubisoft installed an anti mod patch September 2023 which is why we need pre September 20th files to mod the game. Ubislft would never embrace a steam workshop for modding

I tried to download Net5 but my pc said I already have it installed, although it's a different version, is that ok?
Yeah,i think i royally fucked up. Deleted the PCdata patch in anvil and I dont know how to put it back in. Guess im gonna need to shelf breakpoint for another time because wow,even modding blacklist wasn't this complicated

hey! can you help me? I have choose your loadout 3.1 which have loaded battlebelts, and i want to switch to Remove battle belt (BT version) mod which also have loaded battlebelts, how do i switch the mods?
I’m having a super weird issue. My mods will work for like a couple days and then out of nowhere the game will freeze on the main menu. I’ll replace the files with the original files and the game works fine so I know it’s the mods… so these files just randomly stop working?
so when i open my ghost recon tab in anvil and look at the files i dont have a shaders folder?? did i do something wrong ive watched like 4 videos on this and everyone seems to have it but me could really use some help with this if anyone can offer help
Hey bro, im on the buildtables step. Looks like my files are RAR files and I need some extra app to open them. Doesn’t look like that happened with your download. Any advice? Thank you for your time
Hey sorry for latd reply have you figured it out. I dont know why build table mod has 1000 files that doesnt sound right and you should have a respurce folder if uou linked your game through steam and fixed all anvil settings
@gendumthegreat805 when a profile breaks it could be mod compatibility issue or even leave the gsme eith certain modded gear on currently modular helmets is causing broken profiles. Did u put that mod kn
It depends on what mod and what folders and files that mod uses. The process varies. Always check mod description page you will become more and more familar with differant mod path
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Thanks for the reply, I spent 6 days trying to figure out why my game was crashing turns out it were two incompatible mods from the Modular Helmets pack
hey bro so im adding mods and its working like the tracer rounds eliminated and unlock everything but i do something else it crashes? Any advice, im stressing lol just want to play with cool mods. is it me placing things in wrong places?
I have no issues following along until the individual build tables. The files on the folder you downloaded look way different than mine. I have to download 5 files (Helmet, Goggles, NVG, Headsets, and Vests) but has no folder to extract the individual built tables folder. I just have the 5 files
so are you downloading your build table from nexus? once you unzip it you should have resources folder inside and data pc patch, then when you open that it has all files you need to drop, yes the buildtable are super tricky its just you ive had mad trouble with them as well,
so I've done everything right and I haven't had issues modding until now... but when I go to launch the game it does the whole startup shows the GRB little icon loading thing and then it doesn't launch and just closes? Idek why this is happening I've reinstalled the game, checked the Pre-patch files multiple times and replaced them with new ones, did the build tables made sure I downloaded a fresh copy of them just in case same thing. Its very annoying earlier today I had everything working then I tried to add a MICH 2000 helmet and it completely broke everything after that, no matter what I do nothing works.
hey bro, i know its frustrating, ive gone through and still do alot, the thing with build table is they are very touchy and certain mods make them crash, i havnt done mich 2000 yet so idk about that, have you checked the post on that mod page, see if others are having same issues
@@TACTICALKAOS1 I haven't but I seem to understand what's going on its very weird and I haven't had it happen before. Basically I have to install one mod at a time and then start the game to make sure its running properly, close out, and download one more mod. Basically i have to do it one at a time its very odd.
hey man so i just added a mod and it was the cod nvgs but my game keeps crashing, how do i find the files to delete it? or just remove the mods ive added to start fresh?
so ive been running into issues with COD nods as well, trying to figure it out, to remove the mods you need to find the files you put in there, bassically same steps just taking the files back out and replacing with vanilla, you can find vanilla in your backs up in anvil, but its just a million times easier to start over in my opinion unless you have a ton of mods in already
@@TACTICALKAOS1 also man i had one more question, if i download mods can i still play with my friend? because earlier i downloaded one mod and we couldnt join each other anymore
It doesn't work for me I think it's because my files are not set up how it needs to be instead of going straight to common files I have to go to steam apps then go into the common and find ghosts recon
yo just checkin with ya did you ever get it working, sorry been working alot aint had much time to game. also love the marsoc logo probably the dopest special forces imo
@_.Gh0styx03 cool. Next you link your game path? Set compression ratio to 0 and unchecked use compression. If youve done this i would delete your extracted folder in amvil and re install the September 20th forge files
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Hello, I did this step but it isn't working. Maybe if I uninstall AMVILL and the extracted folder and re install the September 20th forge files it should work
I'm not familiar with the sport watch mod but some mods do class and the order they are put in does matter as well. Are you using Amy buildtable mods. What are the mods you were trying to add
Which part of this gets you banned from other multiplayer games like Tarkov and DayZ? I saw another video that says you have to use cheat engine to modify game files. And other games might detect that.
guys guys guys here is a question, you said i have to link the game. HOW??? because maybe its my dumbass but when i select game it says "CATASTROPHIC ERROR"...
what do you mean by game explore, are you meaning anvil toolkit, you need to download anvil toolkit, the net5 from nexus mods, once you have those downloaded you want to run anvil then link it to your game profile, this method is ment to work with steam platform so if your on ubisoft or epic it might not work
When I unpack the files they don’t say successfully written files they just say unpacked games file even after packing my game is crashing. I’m doing a clean install rn bc I really want mods😭
ok so right now the modular helmets are causing alot of crashes, i would recomend using another helmet mod, you check the modular helmets mod pag and read about the major crash issues right now, the mod was working great before, and this video has alot of important stuff so i did not want to remove it because it still shows you hopw to install other build table mods with same path
@@TACTICALKAOS1 with some patience man ive been modding so much more i got the hang of it im still struggling with some mods like Weapon Accessory Emporium v2.2 and Spartan Mod :/ man would it be too much for a video on those? I'll pay you deadass lol I wana try spartan mod w my gf lol Thank you for replying too man means a lot!
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Thanks. Is this method just not possible or is it straight up not possible at all? I'm struggling finding information and seeing mixed answers. It was on sale just literally yesterday for $12 and has now ended but I wasn't about to buy the game again, lol I'm cheap like that.
So there is a problem with the modual helmets there are anoyher set of build table helmets by the same modder i recomend using those now. Is the game is crashing just verify files and start over make sure u doing having to the t in order because one lttle missed step will break thd game
hey bro sorry just got off work, so it will launch ubi connect still, thats not the issue, have you downloaded net 5 and installed pre forge files and everything, also what mods have you tried to install , so i can trey and toubleshoot
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Okay, i decided to take a deeper look into the net5 thing, and i believe net 5.0.13 is the ONLY one you need installed, i had newer versions before so i had to uninstall those, after that it didn't crash anymore. But also, i feel like you gotta be really careful and test every single mod after installing (dont just install everything at once) cause its just easier to start from zero after if you mess up, right now what caused my recent crash was installing FaceGears + Choose your loadout + A Helmet from modular helmets
my game wont launch at all whenever i put any mods in, ive used mods before without any issues, but cant seem to fix it now even though im using the pre sept forge files... could this be because of buildtables?
Yes absolutely because of build tables. The build table mods need to be put in before other mods as nx they clash with alot of stuff. I've ran into many crashes using buildtables way more than with other mods
@Dutchyyyy ya the one that caused me most crashes was modular helmets once I removed that I stopped crashing. I'm using opcode headsets. Nvg and vest and I'm good
I’m trying to get the Crye jpc loaded mod but whenever I download the individual buildtable for the vests in installs through internet explorer and won’t let me access the files
yes i know its a problem with the mod, if you check the post on modders page modular helmets have major issues right now, the method of install still work with other build table mods tho
It's not really possible without butchering an Xbox. Even then,with the cost and time,you're better off getting an I7 or I8 laptop or PC set up to do it proper
im sorry i dont use that mod for a few reasons it clashes with certain mods and if uninstalled you will loose all items, even ones you paid for with IRL cash
So i know modular helmets has alot of issues and alot of steps did u do build tables for them 1st. I would start fresh do steps over make sure its really easy to miss something
@@TACTICALKAOS1 what do I do now cuz I got the mods I can’t load in the game and when I don’t got it I can what do I do any solution and I already uninstalled and re installed several times
@LedPlayzz so j wouldnt use mo d ular helmets right now if u read the mod page there rons of people wit same issue. I wuite using it as well. This video also helps wiyh other build table mod install methods
Hey bro sorry its i didnt explain yhat better. Yes same step differant build table i installed geadsets and helmet buildtsble so when i backed and did that over i was dropping headset files in
@worthyvix7654 ya i got discord but im at work till late tonight. Will be on tomorrow tho. Are u on steam. Becausd i dont know how to mod epic or ubisoft. It has to be on steam for this method
This video was a godsend!! I don’t know how many times I had to uninstall my game, delete the game file, reinstall, going into Anvil, and then try downloading the mods. I’d add the buildtables and then the mods and couldn’t get anything to work. I watched so many videos and re-read the descriptions in the mods over and over. I finally found your video and I was missing the Per-Sept 20th Patch. Tried that and the game launched fine with no crashes and the mods work. Thanks you!!!
@vitalsniper-actual hell ya bro glad to help. I went through all the same stress and BS and kust had to make some guides cus i had litterly none to go from
Hey man thanks for the video I was wondering if you could possibly make a separate video going over each step in more of a simple way from start to finish I know this video already covers that however I found myself getting very lost and confused through certain parts. Granted I am dyslexic and struggle With a learning s disabilities, ive attempted to do this a number of times over the past three weeks but I can’t seem to figure it out and. if you could possibly do that I would be more than happy to donate the money it took you in time to make the content as I would never expect anyone to do this for free thanks again for making the video in the. First place! I justwant to make it clear that I’m not saying this is a bad tutorial by any means it’s just for people like myself get lost easily and struggle to see what you mean. I hope you understand. Talk soon dude. Keep up the good work xD
No worries bro i understand its a super difficult proccess to begin with. Anythinb i could do to make a tutorial easier to follow along i will. The thing is different mods use different instsll nethods so it gets confusiing what are you trying to learn first getting set up or installing a soecific mod
Ive done all the steps right in terms of adding the pre September mod and then checking if the game crashes and it keeps doing just that, crashing. Is there anything that i could be doing wrong because ive done the steps multiple times now to make sure i am doing it right, it never says for me though that is has successfully read my forge files, it just always says finished unpacking forge files and thats it, then ill repack it. Another question is path to executable, i am picking GR Vulkan, is this the right thing to pick or am i picking the wrong thing?
ok 1st delete you extracted folder in anvil and verify files in breakpoint, also are you on steam because if not that might be the issue, next make sure you uncheck use compression and set compression ratio to zero. you path executible need to be the path to your game, like C drive to steam folder and the to the game. also make sure you have net 5 downloaded before you do these things too
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Got everything to work and used a lot of mods but recently there have been crashes due to certain mods and i have had to delete all my mods which were a lot of them, had to do this twice now and its just a drag installing everything from scratch, whats the best way that you would recommend to locate and remove those mods or files would cause my game to crash without having to delete everything again
Alright so, I installed the mods in this video and they worked. The problem I’m having is the fact that I have nothing unlocked. I’m trying to figure out how to install the unlock everything mod while keeping these mods. I have no clue what I’m doing.
Ya ive been getting alot of request for the unlock everything mod so i guess i will make a video on it for you guys i do have work today tho so video wont be out until tomorrow most likely
Are you not on steam if so thats probably the issue. This method wit anvil was created to work with steam. There are ways to mod epic i herd but none for ubisoft

@@TACTICALKAOS1 okay so if my friends dont have the september 19th forge file we can not play online....thank you alot bro i think i understan thank you bro🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
Ok thats probably because modular helmets its us a buzted mod. But there another dope helmet by same author that this video works for u recomwnd trying that
hey bro i would always be happy to help but i dont now how to or if modding from uplay is even possible, ubisoft is super strict on modding, the only way it really works is to buy it from steam, i heard a couple people figure it out on a ubisoft launcher but they said it was crazy difficult
What do yoj mean by patch notes. I would delete your extracted folder and verify files start fresh make sure youve unchecked use compression set compression ratio to 0 and then install pre forge files.
hey bro im most defenitely just trying to help, yes modding breakpoint is a huge hassle, 1st are you on a steam account if not this would be the issue, second if you are on steam and follow the steps to the t you will get set up to start putting in mods, but one forgotten repack or unpack of wrong folder, one little step will break everything, I DIDNT CREATE ANVIL BRO JUST TRYING TO HELP WITH THE CRAZY COMPLICATED PROCESS

what build table file are u using in 12:15?
I put in headset build table jut i recommend doing helmet and headset build tables and maybe nvg if your planning on using those kind of mods
Can you make tutorial for first person mod ghost recon breakpoint
Bruh anvil won't let me link the game 1:40, when I press on Ghost Recon instead of being put in the "path to executable" it only opens the game folder and I can't progress, sucks. P.S. I tried to download Net5 but my pc said I already have it installed, although it's a different version, is that ok?
Any solution to this issue yet? Same problem
Are u on steam?
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Yes sir
same path, it just doesnt copy it over, only opens the game file.
And you got net5 downloaded
@MikeH-fy8bg have you set compression ratio to 0 and unchecked use compression
Yeah,i think i royally fucked up. Deleted the PCdata patch in anvil and I dont know how to put it back in. Guess im gonna need to shelf breakpoint for another time because wow,even modding blacklist wasn't this complicated
ya bro im sorry i do my best to help, but yes the proccess is insane, just verify your breakpoint files ands try again, every step is extremely important
cant open anvil tool kit. its showing up as a 7zip file
hey! can you help me? I have choose your loadout 3.1 which have loaded battlebelts, and i want to switch to Remove battle belt (BT version) mod which also have loaded battlebelts, how do i switch the mods?
so for late reply been working alot, little time to game, if you havnt figured it out yet i can look into it for you
@@TACTICALKAOS1 i would really appreciate it, also one more question, how do i switch from cyl v3.1 to v2 or 1?
I’m having a super weird issue. My mods will work for like a couple days and then out of nowhere the game will freeze on the main menu. I’ll replace the files with the original files and the game works fine so I know it’s the mods… so these files just randomly stop working?
Ya with individual buildtables comes alot of issues. Jave you checked mod page see if orhe r s with same mods have same issues
so when i open my ghost recon tab in anvil and look at the files i dont have a shaders folder?? did i do something wrong ive watched like 4 videos on this and everyone seems to have it but me could really use some help with this if anyone can offer help
hey man i cant select the game for the executable path bit, it says catastrophic failure
Same for me
Hey bro, im on the buildtables step. Looks like my files are RAR files and I need some extra app to open them. Doesn’t look like that happened with your download. Any advice? Thank you for your time
When downloading individual build tables the main folder has over 1000 files inside also there is no recourses folder? Idk what to do.
Nvm it’s just an update it worked fine but my main save is broken for some reason
Hey sorry for latd reply have you figured it out. I dont know why build table mod has 1000 files that doesnt sound right and you should have a respurce folder if uou linked your game through steam and fixed all anvil settings
@gendumthegreat805 when a profile breaks it could be mod compatibility issue or even leave the gsme eith certain modded gear on currently modular helmets is causing broken profiles. Did u put that mod kn
If I want to add mods at a later point, can I just add the folders of said mod to the corresponding folders in the "Extracted" folder and just repack?
It depends on what mod and what folders and files that mod uses. The process varies. Always check mod description page you will become more and more familar with differant mod path
You do not need to do the steps over again. All that will be done
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Thanks for the reply, I spent 6 days trying to figure out why my game was crashing turns out it were two incompatible mods from the Modular Helmets pack
hey bro so im adding mods and its working like the tracer rounds eliminated and unlock everything but i do something else it crashes? Any advice, im stressing lol just want to play with cool mods. is it me placing things in wrong places?
Yes it could be be placing the mods in wrong folders or wrong order. It could be mod conflict. All kinds of stuff i still go through it too tho
I have no issues following along until the individual build tables. The files on the folder you downloaded look way different than mine. I have to download 5 files (Helmet, Goggles, NVG, Headsets, and Vests) but has no folder to extract the individual built tables folder. I just have the 5 files
so are you downloading your build table from nexus? once you unzip it you should have resources folder inside and data pc patch, then when you open that it has all files you need to drop, yes the buildtable are super tricky its just you ive had mad trouble with them as well,
so I've done everything right and I haven't had issues modding until now... but when I go to launch the game it does the whole startup shows the GRB little icon loading thing and then it doesn't launch and just closes? Idek why this is happening I've reinstalled the game, checked the Pre-patch files multiple times and replaced them with new ones, did the build tables made sure I downloaded a fresh copy of them just in case same thing. Its very annoying earlier today I had everything working then I tried to add a MICH 2000 helmet and it completely broke everything after that, no matter what I do nothing works.
hey bro, i know its frustrating, ive gone through and still do alot, the thing with build table is they are very touchy and certain mods make them crash, i havnt done mich 2000 yet so idk about that, have you checked the post on that mod page, see if others are having same issues
@@TACTICALKAOS1 I haven't but I seem to understand what's going on its very weird and I haven't had it happen before. Basically I have to install one mod at a time and then start the game to make sure its running properly, close out, and download one more mod. Basically i have to do it one at a time its very odd.
Game stated crashing after a recent mod now my game won't launch at all with mods
What mods do you have in right now and what mod caused the crashing. It could be a conflict
hey man so i just added a mod and it was the cod nvgs but my game keeps crashing, how do i find the files to delete it? or just remove the mods ive added to start fresh?
so ive been running into issues with COD nods as well, trying to figure it out, to remove the mods you need to find the files you put in there, bassically same steps just taking the files back out and replacing with vanilla, you can find vanilla in your backs up in anvil, but its just a million times easier to start over in my opinion unless you have a ton of mods in already
@@TACTICALKAOS1 alr thanks man love the vids, and pls make a vid on the cod nods if you find out
Ya I'll work on that today you
@@TACTICALKAOS1 youre the best
@@TACTICALKAOS1 also man i had one more question, if i download mods can i still play with my friend? because earlier i downloaded one mod and we couldnt join each other anymore
It doesn't work for me I think it's because my files are not set up how it needs to be instead of going straight to common files I have to go to steam apps then go into the common and find ghosts recon
yo just checkin with ya did you ever get it working, sorry been working alot aint had much time to game. also love the marsoc logo probably the dopest special forces imo
hello, when I tried to unpack the 23 template file it didn't worked. It says "Failed to verify file ! File contains no data."
Have you downloaded net 5 are you on steam account
@@TACTICALKAOS1 yes, on both
@_.Gh0styx03 cool. Next you link your game path? Set compression ratio to 0 and unchecked use compression. If youve done this i would delete your extracted folder in amvil and re install the September 20th forge files
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Hello, I did this step but it isn't working. Maybe if I uninstall AMVILL and the extracted folder and re install the September 20th forge files it should work
The files wont repack, just says in the console "Unable to read beyond the end of the stream"
mmm, ive never heard that erroe before, have you downloaded net 5 and done all the steps, and linked your game?
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Yeah I solved it, I just had to restart anviltoolskit and it fixed itself
Noice glad you got it fam
@@auroa9854 How do you restart anviltoolskit?
@@AidenTheWeird you literally just close and reopen it, task manager it if that doesnt work
So after repacking the pre patch files, game shows start up small window and then crashes. Any fix?
at the part where you unpack 23 teammate for me it says that the file contains no data
My textures gets all messed up,like a broken tv,how do I fix it?
What is game file list? it says not found and asks me to download when I open GRB on anvil
game wont launch anymore.. the "sport watch" mod always works but as soon as i try to download an other mod my game wont launch anymore
I'm not familiar with the sport watch mod but some mods do class and the order they are put in does matter as well. Are you using Amy buildtable mods. What are the mods you were trying to add
First video I found when I searched up how to mod this game and it all worked out perfectly
sick glad to hear you got it working, its kind of a lengthy process as far as modding goes
Which part of this gets you banned from other multiplayer games like Tarkov and DayZ? I saw another video that says you have to use cheat engine to modify game files. And other games might detect that.
Ya so i play alot of tarkov too so i stay away from mods like 1st person mod that use the cheat engines. Outfits znd weapons and stuff ull be fine
@@TACTICALKAOS1 :( damn it looks cool in first person. That’s unfortunate.
guys guys guys here is a question, you said i have to link the game. HOW??? because maybe its my dumbass but when i select game it says "CATASTROPHIC ERROR"...
Im having troubles too
Can u do a vid but starting one by one not having the other apps already open cus idk how to get into the game explorer
what do you mean by game explore, are you meaning anvil toolkit, you need to download anvil toolkit, the net5 from nexus mods, once you have those downloaded you want to run anvil then link it to your game profile, this method is ment to work with steam platform so if your on ubisoft or epic it might not work
@@TACTICALKAOS1 oh ok thank you
Does anyone know how to get past the catastrophic failure error when trying to Link the game
I dont im sprry im just now starting to here about it. Do u have net 5 downloaded and are you on steam
@@TACTICALKAOS1 i have the same problem, do u have to be on steam in order for this to work cuz im on ubi connect
Once you have one of the building table do you need to put them all in
i click on my game when i go to the executable but it still wont link my game idk what to do
bro thank you you saved my life man
When I unpack the files they don’t say successfully written files they just say unpacked games file even after packing my game is crashing. I’m doing a clean install rn bc I really want mods😭
I kinda figured it out got confused on the helmet part I think I got ahead of you I can load in and when I was checking the helmets it crashed 😭
ok so right now the modular helmets are causing alot of crashes, i would recomend using another helmet mod, you check the modular helmets mod pag and read about the major crash issues right now, the mod was working great before, and this video has alot of important stuff so i did not want to remove it because it still shows you hopw to install other build table mods with same path
@@TACTICALKAOS1 with some patience man ive been modding so much more i got the hang of it im still struggling with some mods like Weapon Accessory Emporium v2.2 and Spartan Mod :/ man would it be too much for a video on those? I'll pay you deadass lol I wana try spartan mod w my gf lol Thank you for replying too man means a lot!
I went through the whole process step by step and it didn't work for me. I have the game through Ubisoft though. Does this only work with Steam?
Yes it doesnt work for the ubi platform . Im sry bro i recommend waiting fir next sale on steam
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Thanks. Is this method just not possible or is it straight up not possible at all? I'm struggling finding information and seeing mixed answers. It was on sale just literally yesterday for $12 and has now ended but I wasn't about to buy the game again, lol I'm cheap like that.
@EazyE11 ive never herd of anyone being able to do it on ubisoft they have fojnd a way on epic but steam is what anvil was made tk work wigh
me and my friend followed the steps and now we cant play together and our game are broken
So there is a problem with the modual helmets there are anoyher set of build table helmets by the same modder i recomend using those now. Is the game is crashing just verify files and start over make sure u doing having to the t in order because one lttle missed step will break thd game
I've followed each step so carefully and still crashes omg, i'm on steam (it still opens ubisoft connect tho)
hey bro sorry just got off work, so it will launch ubi connect still, thats not the issue, have you downloaded net 5 and installed pre forge files and everything, also what mods have you tried to install , so i can trey and toubleshoot
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Okay, i decided to take a deeper look into the net5 thing, and i believe net 5.0.13 is the ONLY one you need installed, i had newer versions before so i had to uninstall those, after that it didn't crash anymore.
But also, i feel like you gotta be really careful and test every single mod after installing (dont just install everything at once) cause its just easier to start from zero after if you mess up, right now what caused my recent crash was installing FaceGears + Choose your loadout + A Helmet from modular helmets
you just got a sub!
my game wont launch at all whenever i put any mods in, ive used mods before without any issues, but cant seem to fix it now even though im using the pre sept forge files... could this be because of buildtables?
Yes absolutely because of build tables. The build table mods need to be put in before other mods as nx they clash with alot of stuff. I've ran into many crashes using buildtables way more than with other mods
@@TACTICALKAOS1 yh i fixed it by removing most of the build tables and only using the "vests" and "nvgs" version, although thx for replying.
@Dutchyyyy ya the one that caused me most crashes was modular helmets once I removed that I stopped crashing. I'm using opcode headsets. Nvg and vest and I'm good
I’m trying to get the Crye jpc loaded mod but whenever I download the individual buildtable for the vests in installs through internet explorer and won’t let me access the files
Same, idk how he extracts the file
This isn’t working for me, all the other mods I’ve done work fine but this one refuses to work
yes i know its a problem with the mod, if you check the post on modders page modular helmets have major issues right now, the method of install still work with other build table mods tho
Do you know how to mod on Xbox?
I think a video explaining that would really get alot of views because there are no other videos about that.
Also ngl without modding in this game, it would be total shit
It's not really possible without butchering an Xbox. Even then,with the cost and time,you're better off getting an I7 or I8 laptop or PC set up to do it proper
Now i cant load in defintely fucked something up
Hi. Can you mod playing through Ubisoft
No im sry as far as i know nobody has been able to figure it out
I downloaded a unlocked everything mod for the game and I don’t know why to do
im sorry i dont use that mod for a few reasons it clashes with certain mods and if uninstalled you will loose all items, even ones you paid for with IRL cash
If you click anywhere inside of a folder and press Ctrl + A it also selects all of the files inside of the folder
Ya i know thats what i when im not doing video just didnt feel like adding more to video this process has alot as is
why doesnt dot net workin even if i install it
I did everything you did and my helmet is not doing the thing what do I do?
So i know modular helmets has alot of issues and alot of steps did u do build tables for them 1st. I would start fresh do steps over make sure its really easy to miss something
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Alr I forgot to repack I was in a hurry
@@TACTICALKAOS1 what do I do now cuz I got the mods I can’t load in the game and when I don’t got it I can what do I do any solution and I already uninstalled and re installed several times
@LedPlayzz so j wouldnt use mo d ular helmets right now if u read the mod page there rons of people wit same issue. I wuite using it as well. This video also helps wiyh other build table mod install methods
how do i link the game? i went to desktop and that just opened it.
same here
I’m a little stuck the path to executable would I pick GRB vulkan?
no you got through your drive that steam is on then keep going until to reach your game on steam and link it that will be your path
Bro 12:16 makes no sense to me it just looks like you did the same thing twice I am so confused.
Hey bro sorry its i didnt explain yhat better. Yes same step differant build table i installed geadsets and helmet buildtsble so when i backed and did that over i was dropping headset files in
@@TACTICALKAOS1 You got discord ? I did everything in this video and just nothing happened.
@worthyvix7654 ya i got discord but im at work till late tonight. Will be on tomorrow tho. Are u on steam. Becausd i dont know how to mod epic or ubisoft. It has to be on steam for this method
@@TACTICALKAOS1 I am on steam. Yea
@@TACTICALKAOS1 I’ve got it to work but after I log off when I try to load into games I crash
it followed ur guide step by step but it keeps crashing after character select
that cuz currently there is a modding issue with modular helmets, i woulkd use this tutorial for other build table mods fir niow
@@TACTICALKAOS1 thanks for the quick reply
I got to 23 teammates and right click but no option for unpack file
I download the build tables and the mod and I’m crashing and don’t know what to delete
The build table mods are super touchy. Make dure you install thd buildtables for the mod before u put the mod in
To fix this just delete uour exrracted folder in amvil amd start over. Have you installed your pre September 19th forge files 1st?
@@TACTICALKAOS1yeah I did ,I’ll try restarting
This video was a godsend!!
I don’t know how many times I had to uninstall my game, delete the game file, reinstall, going into Anvil, and then try downloading the mods. I’d add the buildtables and then the mods and couldn’t get anything to work. I watched so many videos and re-read the descriptions in the mods over and over. I finally found your video and I was missing the Per-Sept 20th Patch. Tried that and the game launched fine with no crashes and the mods work.
Thanks you!!!
@vitalsniper-actual hell ya bro glad to help. I went through all the same stress and BS and kust had to make some guides cus i had litterly none to go from
as soon as buildtables are rebuilt i cant launch my game
everytime i download the mods and open up anvil i dont see a shadercache option
my client is steam and i have the pre sep patch and the other necessary mods but no shadercache option in anvil
Hey man thanks for the video I was wondering if you could possibly make a separate video going over each step in more of a simple way from start to finish I know this video already covers that however I found myself getting very lost and confused through certain parts. Granted I am dyslexic and struggle With a learning s disabilities, ive attempted to do this a number of times over the past three weeks but I can’t seem to figure it out and. if you could possibly do that I would be more than happy to donate the money it took you in time to make the content as I would never expect anyone to do this for free thanks again for making the video in the. First place! I justwant to make it clear that I’m not saying this is a bad tutorial by any means it’s just for people like myself get lost easily and struggle to see what you mean. I hope you understand. Talk soon dude. Keep up the good work xD
No worries bro i understand its a super difficult proccess to begin with. Anythinb i could do to make a tutorial easier to follow along i will. The thing is different mods use different instsll nethods so it gets confusiing what are you trying to learn first getting set up or installing a soecific mod
Ive done all the steps right in terms of adding the pre September mod and then checking if the game crashes and it keeps doing just that, crashing. Is there anything that i could be doing wrong because ive done the steps multiple times now to make sure i am doing it right, it never says for me though that is has successfully read my forge files, it just always says finished unpacking forge files and thats it, then ill repack it. Another question is path to executable, i am picking GR Vulkan, is this the right thing to pick or am i picking the wrong thing?
ok 1st delete you extracted folder in anvil and verify files in breakpoint, also are you on steam because if not that might be the issue, next make sure you uncheck use compression and set compression ratio to zero. you path executible need to be the path to your game, like C drive to steam folder and the to the game. also make sure you have net 5 downloaded before you do these things too
@@TACTICALKAOS1 Got everything to work and used a lot of mods but recently there have been crashes due to certain mods and i have had to delete all my mods which were a lot of them, had to do this twice now and its just a drag installing everything from scratch, whats the best way that you would recommend to locate and remove those mods or files would cause my game to crash without having to delete everything again
yea followed this step by step and still get error code 0, can i get a confirmation that this is still up to date and a working method please
The modular helmets gave an issue atm but the sams modder makes other gear and this meyhod works to install those as well.
All the build tables download as .rar files for me and don’t come with folders?
hey im sorry, i hope you got that figured out lmk
Alright so, I installed the mods in this video and they worked. The problem I’m having is the fact that I have nothing unlocked. I’m trying to figure out how to install the unlock everything mod while keeping these mods. I have no clue what I’m doing.
Ya ive been getting alot of request for the unlock everything mod so i guess i will make a video on it for you guys i do have work today tho so video wont be out until tomorrow most likely
Drag the two files from the unlock all mod into C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Ghost Recon Breakpoint and click replace!
@@VictusSolutions tried replacing the 2 files with the steam version but i dont have the items in my inventory
is it normal for the game to give you a crash warning every time you open the game but it never crashes?
game told me there was a crash after I tried connecting
dont work its saying my files not found when i copy the path in
Are u not on steam
I ended up fixing the issues they where Ubisoft side not mod side trying to get same mods as u now I finally lurned how to get the gear one
i see eft launcher on your task bar
you playing pve or spt
also did you copy the thing to your game because it doesn't let me just select the game i have to select another thing

hey bro i would always be happy to help but i dont now how to or if modding from uplay is even possible, ubisoft is super strict on modding, the only way it really works is to buy it from steam, i heard a couple people figure it out on a ubisoft launcher but they said it was crazy difficult
@@TACTICALKAOS1 another ubisoft L smh.
