scriptstudio.exe crashing

Hi,

did anybody successfully get this to run?

followed the quickguide tutorial pdf but no luck so far.

I'm on Win 10. Tried setting it to win 7 / win 8 compatibility mode. Obviously running as administrator.

Create new mod:

Folder is created D:\Mods\MyTestMod\

contains 1 subfolder called: scripts

scripts\local
scripts\source\core
scripts\source\engine
scripts\source\game

the scripts\source folders seem to contain all the *.ws scripts

then the scriptstudio.exe crashes.


attched all scriptstudio.exe crashlogs.

Same error here, win10 tried running as administrator and win8 compatibility mode.

If i run it under Win 8 compat and with admin rights it won't crash on my W10 but it'll just stop responding.

I also can't get it to work. I also can't get mods to load into the game from manually editing scripts as described in the PDF - it never pops up saying it's compiling scripts like it says it would. As others have said, neither Admin mode nor Win8 compatibility helps. This is on Win10, AMD64.

I did get the 2nd method they describe in the pdf to work, but only after I upgraded the game to 1.08.01, didnt even notice that they released a patch at first... Make sure you update to 1.08.01 and try again. the compiler came up after the update.

And I think adding -dumpscripts parameter in a witcher3.exe shortcut starts the compiler manually.

You can just use other IDE i think. Project is compiled by game .exe file. And i don't know if debugging works. It worked with Witcher2 Redkit, but i'm not sure how about game itself. I'm using Visual Studio, but i'm just checking how project is ogranized and what classes there are rather than modding.

I don't know if it helps but make sure that witcher3.exe is closed in the task manager. Sometime, even when exiting the game, the witcher3.exe file will not close properly on the task manager and you will have to close it manually. Check that and if it's open there, close it and try the script studio again.

Another problem could be related with the OS e.g Windows 10. Even when you do the Windows 8.1 or 7 compatibility mode, it still might crash so might wanna run the script file on actual Windows 7 or 8.1 and see if it helps.

bump bump bump FIX THIS REDS PLEAAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEE

 

[Fartuess.807]

Just use other IDE for the time being. Waiting for CDPR to fix issues is not good idea. It can take too long, especially considering that there are workarounds for this problem.

If you try and run Script Studio from the modkit folder and it crashes, I think the culprit is this file: "redscm.dll"
it's probably part of Redkit, and Script Studio crashes if it doesn't find it.

Instead, copy "scriptStudio.exe" to "~your witcher game folder\bin\x64" and run it from there, it'll run fine, mostly, and upon making a new mod it'll automatically import source scripts from "\content\content0\scripts", it still crashes from time to time though.

By the way, Script studio is a stand alone application, you can copy the exe anywhere and use, but only as a script editor, just open a scripts directory and work from there. Other stuff, like making a new mod from the menu, usually crash it.

This worked for me, thank you so much.

I'm sorry to bump this but this method didn't work for me. It's still crashing immediately when I try to create a new mod or
when I try to open a script directory. I tried running it with Windows 7 compatibility and as Administrator but this doesn't work, too.
Is there a solution to this already? I attached my crash logs. One is after I try to open a script directory and the other one is when I try to create a new mod.

EDIT: Oh, I already got a solution. I renamed the redscm.dll file to redscm.dll.org

Yeah, had the same problem on Windows 8.1 with Admin rights enabled and using Witcher 3 vs. 1.10 and mod tools vs. 1.1. Did anyone find a solution to this?
