Everything loaded nicely, I started it, and the Star Wars Battlefront 2 logo shows up and it keeps loading endlessly, I turned it off and on and I managed to get to the main menu, I took a quick action and the map kept loading. I set the offline mode in Steam and it keeps reloading forever when loading the menu, it doesn't work and that's it
@@Geektorian I did: E - Installing the BetterInitfs Plugin and it helped, the game now loads fine and there are no problems with the map taking forever to load or the game loading before the main menu 😊
@@pongsakornwattananonsatain8428 Make sure you did everything as in the video. Reload the Betterinitfs file in the plugins folder and select it again. If it keeps happening contact the Expanded team on discord
@Geektorian Thank you, I able to launch the game now by swap load order, btw sometime my game are unable to launch at all after using frosty for a while even when I try to launch the base game without mod on steam, is this a normal thing? Or it is just me.
I tried to launch the game so many times but it never launches on its own. When I click "launch" it only opens up stean and EA but doesnt launch. I tried launching it from ea after frosty but that didnt work. Is there something I can do about it?
Make sure you follow all the steps buddy. Did you also also load Better initfs and the Error Fix? Write down in the Help Thread in discord if you re still having issues
So I've spoken to the BFE team on a few occasions and they cant seem to figure out my issue. I've followed every step of the installation but V5 and both V6 test builds do not work for me, it crashes on the initial splash screen (I'm using the steam version). The only version that works for me is the BF+ compatible version. I know Kyber V2 is close-ish to dropping but I really want to get expanded to work before then. Are there possibly any other variables you can think of to make it work? I've tried reinstallations of the game/frosty/EA app, deleting frosty and EA appdata, deleting the mod data file in the game files, literally nothing seems to work. The BFE team has been awesome in helping me try to figure it out, but as I said, even they dont know whats making it crash.
@@mjolnir1122 Hmm. Have you tried installing Frosty in a different drive? I once had friends installing it in C and worked while others installed it in D and it did the trick. Perhaps it would be an idea to try the frosty fix as well? 🤔
@Geektorian I do currently have Frosty on my C drive and BF2 on my D drive. Here's where it gets interesting. I just made another profile, testing5, and V5 didn't work but V6 did. I can now get BFExpanded to run just fine on this profile. So I made an additional profile to double check, and sure enough, I'm having the same crashing issue, even though I have the exact same mods and load order on the testing5 profile. It's an extremely weird, and probably isolated issue.
@mjolnir1122 Myeah I realised in time that theres always isolated issues with Frosty. Very weird indeed. So V6 works now for you? If there are crashes they might be cos of V6 that is why I recommended V5 first because its slightly more stable
@@Geektorian Funnily enough, V5 has given me far more trouble than V6. However, I did figure something out last night. The trouble seems to be with pathing. I'm not sure if it's on Frosty side or game side, but the profile pathing is never actually deleted. For example, I made a profile called "BFE" early on when trying to make things work. I cannot get the profile to work, no matter how many times I delete the profile or moddata. When I got V6 to work last night, I made it on a profile called "test5". I made yet another profile called "BFE", did the same exact setup as I did on "test5", and it didn't work. Made a profile called "1bfe" and it worked. Made a profile called "test6", again it worked. So for some reason, old profiles that have been deleted, if there were any issues or crashes, retain the same pathing as the original. So at this point, I've made a backup of my working V6 profile, and I'm using another profile to test if different mods work with it. So far, V6 seems to essentially only able to be a standalone. Even skin replacements don't work with it.
Im able to get the skins and herod to work if i download them individualy in frostymanneger but stuff like files: instant action and toopers keep on making frosty say its an error
Unfortanly did not work for me but dont worry ill get it soon enough. Im in the discord so ill ask them. One question what is the instant action file for anyway?
for the time being, yes. But the online version is in testing. I have tried it and it works great, they are just waiting on the release of kyber V2 to release the online version
@@josh_jc36kyber is a private server platform that will replace the current mod launcher (frosty mod manager). It will allow people to play all types of mods online in multiplayer servers. It will also make getting mods a much easier process
